this isn't really intended as a suggestion or request thread, I'm just excited about the possibilities and want to discuss it, the creators can ignore or implement anything they like :)
I want to clarify that I haven't downloaded the mod and most likely won't until it has more content.

the most important thing for me in this mod is a gender spectrum. I think this would be best accomplished with three variables - a scale of male to female, a scale of agender to pangender, and a scale of dysphoria to no dysphoria. these could be represented with colored bars in the menu. these alongside the pawn's birth sex would pretty fully integrate the complicated relationship people have with gender (e.g. some cis women can get dysphoria in feminine clothes, some trans men don't get any dysphoria from feminine clothes!!)

random specific clothing items giving your pawn dysphoria or euphoria, as well as dysphoria/euphoria based on facial hair, body types, etc. (but less binary - for example, the majority of female-leaning pawns would dislike facial hair, but you could have a female pawn who doesn't mind it or even gets euphoria from it. I'd also love if this were configurable). I think this would make each pawn feel much more unique in their own experience.

I'd love for the addition of nonbinary pawns and custom pronouns!! pawns randomly generating with neopronoun sets (and the ability to adjust spawn rates of pawns with neopronouns). also integration with character editors so you can fully customize where your pawn is on the gender spectrum, what gives them euphoria vs dysphoria, etc.

I'd love sexuality spectrums too, which would solve the issue of "are monosexual pawns attracted to nonbinary pawns?" etc. but might also get very complicated and clog the menus if done improperly. I'm just throwing out every idea I have.

here's a very interesting topic to think about that's unique to rimworld - psychic sensitivity. my idea is that pawns are affected psychically based on their m/f bar and their "gender amount" bar - fully agender pawns (0 on the gender bar) are essentially psychically deaf to gender-affecting phenomena, while pawns on the pangender side are affected by every gender-specific phenomena (with the exact mood numbers changing depending where they are on each gender scale). this is already basically in the game via psychic sensitivity, so I think it wouldn't be too hard to implement, it'd just take time. I feel this is pretty well-balanced by default as well - agender pawns don't get the drawbacks of gender-based psychic drones, but they also don't get gender-based psychic soothes, whereas pangender pawns are high risk, high reward.

genderfluidity could be a very interesting addition!!! I'd love if any pawn's gender spectrum bars could change over time in very small ways (configurable, of course) but certain pawns spawn with a "genderfluid" trait that makes their m/f bar fluctuate rapidly. I don't know how this would work with the dysphoria/euphoria system and with outfit rules, but it's a fun idea, and I'd love to see this represented.

gender is currently a very hot debate in the world, which I'm sure I don't have to tell you. therefore I think it's very important for people to be able to configure everything based on their tastes and opinions, so the mod settings should be very populated with advanced options for specific spawn rates. I really wish that gender weren't so political, honestly, and I hope someday this won't be the case and people can just chill out and let live. it's also my personal opinion that identity labels do matter and are important, but that people are so much more than just their labels and I think this should be reflected in-game, even if not by the system I described in this post. cis people can have just as complicated and varied of an experience with gender as trans people can, sometimes even more so. there are common traits and variables within each population, each label, and the people who identify as such, but everyone is also vastly different.

all of this would be a lot of work to implement, and I can't imagine how you'd make this save-compatible and mod-compatible, but man I want it in-game so bad. I do hope that I could eventually learn to code and make a predecessor to this mod, though right now depression's kicking my ass too hard.

I'm really looking forward to how this mod will grow, as a genderfluid nonbinary person it's often hard to see myself and my incredibly complicated and multi-faceted experience with gender reflected in video games. I'd also really love to hear everyone else's thoughts on it, unless you're just here to whine about trans people existing. in that case get out

thank you so much for making this mod!!!

as you can tell I've thought about this a lot while trying to fall asleep while hyperfixated on rimworld
