good news: lolth said trans rights
Tweet(@hauntedbyspells): Hey Mr.Greenwood! I've got you a question :P I've recently been playing as a Lolth-sworn drow, and while studying drow society and traditions, I started wondering—how does drow society view trans people and transition? Could you help me understand this better? Tweet (@theedverse): Sure! Drow sworn to Lolth have examples before them all the time about transformation of self-shape in service to the Spider Queen. Some of these are viewed as undesirable (driders), others as rewards or ascending in rank (the power/shape augmentations Lolth... Tweet(@theedverse): ...gives males who please her with their service and loyalty). So there is no hatred or mistrust of shifting one's shape; it is one means of serving Lolth. Some house matriarchs view it with suspicion ("males seeking to exalt themselves by becoming female") ..but the yochlol have often been sent by Lolth to defend individuals persecuted by individual matriarchs or priestesses purely for such reasons, to make Lolth's views and will clear. Over time, transitions (not just from gender to gender, but from drow to... Tweet(@theedverse): ...other shapes) have become accepted as reverence of Lolth, and part of what it is to be drow. And of course, drow who follow Eilistraee are quite familiar with the Changedance, and accept shifting (even back and forth) as, again, part of what it is to be drow.
