Ahh, I see. I do agree, honestly. Maybe having pins or hats with some of the flags would be a nice accessory to add? Or special one-day pride events? Though the events might also come with the pressure of adding more events for more communities, which would take quite a bit of time from their current priorities...
I would LOVE to have the option of HRT in the future, though! I know many others have asked for mid-game transitioning, and I really hope they add that feature eventually, maybe even with toggleable options to have NPCs react to your transition... Or a special "coming out" scene...
