    As someone who started transition and was having a lot of fears of passing when BotW came out, fuck that gerudo section. Characters constantly questioning Link or saying they can tell, constant jokes about telling someone's actually a man under the clothes or faking it.

    That shit wasn't progressive, it was a mockery, and a huge part of the reason I never went back until 6 years later when there were mods to fix it

      Yeah that section kind of sucked a lot. It just made me start to think, like, would they throw out masculine women just as quick? How exactly are they so certain noted androgynous elf boy Link is actually a guy?

      Even when you get past the guards, the vibe is that everyone knows you're not supposed to be there but no one really cares enough to call the guards. They just think it's funny.

      Yeah, that whole section had a "Dare you enter my magical realm?" feel to it.
