No, get out of here mate.

Never said i agreed with such a policy,  but such people do exist,  and are also in rimworld communities,  like folks suggesting transgender colonists (not kidding,  I've seen this) .... Like a colony would risk surgery on perfectly physically healthy people , silver every month for hormones,  and huge risks to social structure just because one person wasn't comfortable with their body,  ontop of then very volatile mentality during the "change" .  Certainly would never happen in most colonies struggling to survive,  and frankly id think such people would have better priorities,  like not becoming warg meat, or mechanoid target practice.

But again, just my opinion, and I've already covered this and more in this very thread.
Being transgender is more than just hormone treatments, or "changes". Not everyone takes any sort of hormone (not everyone gets them), not everyone goes into any surgery at all. This reasoning that the game shouldn't have transgender people "because it's expensive and difficult for colonies to support them" is asinine, and a misunderstanding of what being transgender is.

But I wouldn't put anything past a forum where saying that The Thing was good because it had no women in it is somehow acceptable.
