Gender dysphoria, rather than trans. Sure, Brint can become Brienne, and Vitra used to be Steve or something. But people aren't undergoing dysphoria because they can't express their gender, because the writers can wave their hand and go "that's not a thing here". That's why there's nothing said about kitsune miserable because they can't tf, because it doesn't service the narrative or the tone of the game to go into that.You don't need to have gender dysphoria to feel some dysphoria about your body. Which was more what I was getting at.
But more importantly and to directly respond, why not?
That's part of why it feels so odd to me because exploring your gender is incredibly common in CoC2, lots of characters do what the player is encouraged to do and try different bits. But if you mean specifically trans characters then I feel like if you find that absurd you musn't play many porn games...like this one one of your companions can be one. Or TiTs or many others not made by this team.
You mentioned TiTS, which incidentally has that issue with the monkey lady on Myrellion. The writer wanted to write a particular kind of arc which didn't fit with the lore of the universe. So they had to invent a race that can't mod for Reasons. They had to invent cultural reasons why this character would be shunned by their family. And the end result was a very self-contained bubble plot that sharply contrasts with the free love people can be whatever gender they want tone of the rest of the game.
