One of my favorite characters I built (years ago) for D&D years was magically created to be transgender by a devil playing at being a god. She looked like a woman but possessed male genitals and was mainly attracted to women, though she could be flexible. Back then, things were different socially and the character didn’t bother anyone because she was a strong moral person and it wasn’t a sexual thing. I really enjoyed the headspace and exploration for this character as she developed and came to accept her uniqueness.
Fast forward a decade, I’ve begun writing for fun and I’ve been considering going back to this character and resurrecting her. I am concerned that as a CIS male that the very idea of my writing such a character would immediately touch a nerve and set off a firestorm. So, that made me decide to come here and ask this community their thoughts on transgender characters as written by non-trangender authors.
Transitioning is only trivial in some D&D settings. Polymorph is a high level spell, so it would cost a lot of money to have a wizard cast it. Whether other spells or potions for transitioning exist is something for the GM to decide

That’s still more than a year’s wages for a peasant. About 24,000 dollars in the USA. Being a trans adventurer is easy, but being a trans commoner is as hard as it is in the real world
