Point 1: gender is sexual
Gender is a social construct around behavioural and social traits, sexuality is who one is sexually attracted to, I honestly cannot see how you can correlate the two beyond "this gender is usually heterosexual".
Point 2: children should not make puberty decisions unless they are mature, and to be mature they must go through puberty
If a child is mature enough to go through puberty, then they should be mature enough to make decisions about their puberty.
Why force someone to go through a puberty they hate, and only after they are finished and the changes become irreversible do you allow them to make a decision on how they wish to mature?
I understand this point of view because I used to also hold it, but I'm trying to express to you that forbidding puberty blockers causes the exact same problem, someone uninformed on a subject comes to regret their action (or inaction).
I havent played for years, I left right before plains of duviri. I heard there's now steel soul which is hard mode, and theres parkour 4.0 now? Is there still the massive powercreep problem?
In my old experience, its fun at the lower levels where you don't know the optimal loadouts yet and playing solo so nobody can optimize the fun out of the game, though the game becomes more toxic as time goes on, you need incredibly specific time locked gear to do endgame stuff.
Grinding is hell, I heard it got even worse, time locked and super rare enemies with <1% drop rates for meta mods or a resource you need thousands of.
Microtransactions are mostly fine, you don't need to spend any money, just be prepared to grind even more to trade for the super rare stuff in the marketplace.
