Like half my characters are trans, lol. I think it's just harder to pick trans characters out among strangers, so they seem less populous because they're less visible. I think there's usually nothing outwardly about them that says "this character is trans" - like, visibly, externally, my male characters use male models (whether they're trans or cis), and my female characters use female models (whether they're trans or cis). From my lineup, it's not possible to pick out who's cis and who's trans just by looking at them (except Shuu, who uses they/them pronouns, lol). Even people who do use female models to represent male characters and vice-versa (which is legit, btw) - it's not possible to tell if the character is actually trans, or just an effeminate/butch cis person, if the player just wanted the gender-locked outfits from the other sex, etc; until the player tells you in some fashion (be it IC or OOC). And it's not like "hey so what are your genitals like" or "so, like, did your parents ever think you were a different gender than you actually ended up being" or "have you ever used a fantasia/had major reconstructive surgery" is a topic that comes up in casual public conversation the same way "so are you seeing anyone" is. There's opportunities for homosexuality, bisexuality, and so on to come up in small-talk, in first time meetings, to be made obvious by the fact of cuddling or kissing a same-gender partner in public - whereas a character being transgender is usually something you'll only learn once you've known them for a while. So you've probably run into some trans characters; you just don't know it. :) [connie voice] Or that's my interpretation, anyway. Anyway, yeah. I think like 99% of the characters in my FC are some variation on LGBPA+ and/or non-cisgender. Quite a lot of the characters I've met out and about have a same-gender romantic partner. Are you after... ...romance RP that follows the development and story of a same-gender couple including your character and another? ...drama RP revolving around difficulties that couples could face in a world as politically harsh as Eorzea, including same-gender couples?(*See below for clarification) ...slice-of-life RP revolving around your LBGPA+/trans character's general social life; or around helping transgender characters obtain alterations to alleviate dysphoria, and/or helping LGBPA+ characters find matches? ...action RP that happens to prominently involve LGBPA+ and trans characters? ...intrigue RP that happens to prominently involve LGBPA+ and trans characters? ...something else? ...all of the above? Because all those things (and more I haven't thought of) could fit the bill, and you're gonna get different LS/FC recommendations for each xD I say in my RPer profile that people should ideally enjoy LGBT+ themes if they want to enjoy RPing with me. I put that in to broadcast the fact that my RP will include characters who are LGBT+, and that I'm not really comfortable muting or removing those aspects of my character for the dubious comfort of people who dislike them. But the RP I actually do tends to just be... RP, haha. This week just gone my character helped remove an active bomb from the underside of a deck. The week before that he was building trust with his datefriends. The week before that he was doing his dayjob as a fisherman. All of that could be described as "LGBT RP" based on the fact my character is pansexual and trans - or it could be described as action RP, romance RP, slice-of-life RP. If you give us a storytelling genre, we'll probably know better where to point you :D [ tumblr | twitter | wiki | art ]
