Non-Binary farmer

[sweetenerfarm]

As a Non binary person myself, i wish so badly for a third gender option upon starting each save, along with gender neutral dialogue, and perhaps a choice between adopting or giving birth to your baby later in the game. I know there's probably a mod for this on PC, but I play on Switch so I can only play vanilla. I feel that everybody would feel more included with this option. Thank you.

Stardew does pretty well with not using any gendered pronouns at all tbh so I don't really see a need but more choices the better.

To use Dolphin Is Not A Fish's point from the Stardew discord server about this, "There's definitely quite a number of explicit reference to the farmer's gender, even beyond just pronouns. Alex saying the female farmer throws well "for a girl". Clint getting flustered with the female farmer and saying that her voice "sounds nice". George getting bothered if Alex is dating the male farmer, etc." I agree there is not much pronoun uses, but there is much gendered language. I recall being called "Young man" "Sir" "Farmer boy" and being called "Handsome" by my spouse. These terms are mostly okay for me as a trans masculine individual, but it is definitively NOT inclusive.

I'm also aware of the translations complexities, but i'm sure it can be done! simply talking to non-binary individuals from different cultures how they work around the gendered language, i'm sure will work.
