hey folk. so what do you think about this. homestuck never really explores it (i dont think) so im curious to know what are your thoughts about the naming conventions of the classes, specifically when it comes to gender, and transitioning.

picture a player entering, discovering their classpect, then transitioning at a later point in time. maybe they're a heir and after transitioning decide that using heiress instead would be better.

OR, considering sburb's atemporal themes, the player joins with an exclusive class that might conflict with their current presentation: "Prince? Isn't it supposed to be princess?"

ultimately it would come down to how sburb mechanically works in this scenario, the first option implies that the game would only care for the person's agab, which is cruel, but the idea of deliberately changing your own class name in spite of that is cool. the second option would also have interesting narrative themes to explore.
