    Haven't seen any on EOS. Do you perhaps mean Reyes on Kadara. He will express interest but it is easy to say no. If you do talk about him you need to look up what trans(vestite) means.

    Trust me Jaal wont suddenly say to your Ryder that he is now transgender.

    In my six playthroughs no one has tried to preach their preference to me. If I try to romance them and they are not into my current gender they simply say so and that is the last you hear about it. So no preaching at all.


    Yup, and that is the thing likely to change. Showing interest as male to Jaal no longer gets "shot down" by Jaal. So won't be in you face, have to actively pursue it. Romance assumably will be exactly the same as with female. Highly unlikely there is much new voice-over.

    Barring perhaps the actual love scene animation which won't make sense male-male (well, peebee female variant really doesn't either...)


    There is new voice over, confirmed by Michael Gamble on Twitter.

    Obviosly, the male Ryder dialogue had to be done, but is there completely new dialogue? We shall see.

    They had to change it because the trans community did not like it. 🥳

    "What transgender person would actually go around telling people "hey, i used to be a male, but everyone now knows im female"? If youre transgender and you are left the milky way to start a new life where everyone wouldnt know you as a guy and it worked and everyone is referring to you as a woman, WHY would you tell people "yeah I used to be a man, now I'm a woman". No sense was made here today."

    Nope, the Transgender character is hainly abrams, science officer(or some head of science) stationed in EOS.  Hainly Abrams is not a romance option, but did cause some issues that cause Bioware to remove the conversation in a later patch.

    OK a poor dialog but still no preaching.

    And no, the quote was not from the movie but a comment to the movie.

    I would agree that it is highly unlikely that a transsexual would mention that fact in a first meeting save for a consultant doctor.

    Yeah, I wouldn't have classed it as offensive but it certainly was a weird one that made absolutely no sense.
