TBF being treated as a defective boy isn't exclusive to transwomen.

It's certainly convenient to make the public focus on culture war topics instead of eating the rich. But let's not pretend that they, or the people behind them, don't genuinely dislike trans people, brown people etc. . Like, Trump might actually just not care, but Musk definitely has shown that he is transphobic on top of everything else.

I'm pressing thumbs for you!

I take it the group isn't actually supposed to fight this demon? I'd generally assume that a group would already have magic weapons once they meet strong enemies that they aren't expected to run away from. Especially if it's a recurring enemy.

What about a kobold riding a t-rex?

Good point.

Counterpoint: Many groups have trouble discerning between a regular encounter and an encounter they aren't supposed to fight.

Dragons are pretty high level-threats in D&D, which most players rarely get to fight because most campaigns don't last that long. Which does make it a bit weird to name the entire franchise after such a rare enemy.

I assume that's supposed to be a codpiece, but it sure looks like a chastity cage ...

Unless you're in the middle of a major plague or have a ridiculous amount of war, peasants in a medieval-style world who survive young childhood should generally get to an age of about 60. Though getting old with medieval-level medicine while working a physically demanding job probably sucks hard.

Cosmetic surgeries (including ones purely for vanity, rather than restoring something that's disfigured) are still conducted by doctors, and many of those are far more risky and invasive than HRT.

Not really. D&D characters have jobs (unless they're unemployed), the class just describes a set of skills that would (hopefully) be useful for that job. Class is more equivalent to a university degree or trade school diploma - it usually suggests certain jobs, but those skills are usually useful and sought after in many different careers.

Warriors can have many different jobs, like bodyguard, townguard, soldier/mercenary, robber, brigand, monarch, hunter, or something completely different like university professor and the character just takes their exercise regimen really seriously.

Uneducated is probably best. For all we know, that barbarian is conversational and literate in 3 different non-common languages, can communicate in 6 and has a doctorate from a far eastern university - barbarian is a class, not a job or ethnicity.

In the real world, there are many places with a high density of non-European languages.
