Simple Trans

This mod adds a simple system for differentiating how pawns interact with pregnancy and AGAR (Assigned Gender at Rimworld).
This mod was inspired by frustration with other options for having explicitly trans pawns.
No shade on RJW, Universal Pregnancy, or Dysphoria, but none of those were what I was looking for here.

This is my first mod; please be kind! I'll do my best to address frustrations and errors but I do have a day job or two!

If you are here to complain about the existence of this mod, please leave. You have the ability to not click into this mod if you don't like the idea. Goodbye.

Update 10-10-24: Thank you to everyone who is supportive of this mod. I'm going to disallow comments for a little bit while the hype dies down. I'll re-allow them when I get my next major update out so we can talk about issues with the update.

Update 10-21-24: I've re-allowed comments, for now. I'll be going through and moderating them regularly so hopefully we won't have so much of a stink-fest this time. Let's stay on topic, guys!

• Pawns are assigned cis or trans on generation, based on configurable % cis chance in settings
• Pawns are assigned carrier or sire on generation, (if cis) based on presented gender, (if trans) based on % chance to carry from settings
• Pregnancy Approach checks against ability to carry or sire instead of gender
• Lovin' pregnancy chance checks against ability to carry or sire instead of gender
• Dev mode options
• gender-restricting genes should work correctly now if they work with Vanilla Extended Framework
  
• Compatibility with Non-Binary Gender!!!
  
  
  Dev Mode
• Validate all Humanlike genders: checks if all generated pawns have valid cis/trans + carry/sire status (So this mod should be mid-save safe now!)
  
• Set Transgender: sets target pawn as trans, removes cis hediff
  
• Set Cisgender: sets target pawn as cis, removes trans hediff
  
• Clear ST hediffs: clears cis/trans/carry/sire from target pawn. Recommended if you want to manually set those things.
  
• Set Able to Carry: sets target pawn able to carry, does not remove able to sire
  
• Set Able to Sire: sets target pawn able to sire, does not remove able to carry or extant pregnancy
  
• Regenerate ST hediffs: clears cis/trans/carry/sire from target pawn, then regenerates them. Recommended if you get your pawns in a weird state.
  
  
  Planned Features
• Move cis/trans to traits?
  
• Pawn Editor compatibility patch (not currently incompatible, I just want to put the gender buttons with the gender buttons in Pawn Editor)
  
• Add ability to both carry and sire, or neither, configurable with %chance (Unsure if I should prevent clone armies on purpose here)
  
• Gendered surgeries to check carry/sire instead of gender
  
• Generate carry/sire only if pawn is in reproductive lifestage
  
• Ability to extract ovum from carry pawns, and order sire pawns to fertilize ovum. (Currently I use Samesex IVF to achieve this but I would like it to not be a dependency)
  
• Compatibility with RJW (maybe.), Universal Pregnancy, & Dysphoria
  
  
  Required Mods
• Harmony
  
• XML Extensions
  
• Vanilla Expanded Framework
  
  
  Recommended Mods
• Samesex IVF
  
• Way Better Romance (Not required, but I wanted to mark it as compatible; WBR is on my testing modlist)
  
• Non-Binary Gender (Not required, but I did write compatibility for it!)
  
• Don't use WBR & NBG together !!!! Known incompatibility.
  
  
  Incompatible Mods
• RJW (You can already do most of this mod with RJW + Character Editor, it's just manual instead of generated...)
  
• Universal Pregnancy, maybe? (Not actually sure if they conflict, I do know we touch the same code and do similar things)
  
• Dysphoria, maybe? (I don't use Dysphoria and have not checked, but I suspect the ways we decide on the transness of each pawn are too different)
  
• Hermaphrodite Gene Continued (The stuff they patch is the same as the stuff I patch and I do not see an easy way to reconcile the two.)
  
  
  Known Issues
• Must be loaded after Vanilla Social Interactions Expanded or no one will get pregnant, even cis/het couples.
