It was the manner in which it was found out (In the trailer, I don't remember if it was like that in the actual game or not because its been a while, even though that was legitimately the best route). Like, the "We are naked and about to have sex, oh, and I have a cock" sort of reveal that the trailer implied. Nah, it was specifically stated that the problem was that the character was hiding that the character was trans. The arguments made was "trans would not deceive their dates. It is dangerous to do so due to potential anger/backlash. The presentation in the game that a trans character would do so is fearmongering". It wasn't over the "reveal". It was about the character hiding being a trans. When was the game released? 5 years ago? Just surprised that so much has changed on this particular issue from the stance of the trans community (or posters here, I guess... it may be different for the bigger community). --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex |

And it was supposed to be a plot twist when the protagonist discovered it. The trans community was upset (as were some members of 261), arguing that no trans was going to hide that they were trans to someone they were dating, and that very concept of not being forward about it was a hateful fearmongering.
