After years of speculation,
World of Warcraft has finally confirmed that one of the oldest NPCs in the game is transgender in what can only be described as a huge win for diversity and inclusivity.

The Visage a short story about Chromie’s past a dragon asks her why she chose “to become female” at her coming-of-age ceremony. To which she simply replies “it suits me”.

WoW’s Chromie is trans, narrative lead confirms
One of World of Warcraft‘s older NPCs is transgender. A new short story reveals that Chromie, the time-travelling gnome whose dragon form Chronormu used male pronouns, now uses she/her pronouns in all instances.
