I know of at least one game where you're playing a trans girl but don't find out until later. Though admittedly she reads as and is referred to as a woman from the beginning

If it's not Celeste it's The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories.

Yeah it's The Missing.

Celeste's protagonist is also definitely trans but it's not deliberately spelled out in the plot at least, whereas it's central to the story of The Missing. Though, as a warning, The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories is a pretty gruesome game as one of its main conceits is that the protagonist can regenerate from any injury and you solve a lot of physics puzzles with clever use of your limbs and body

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
I will probably never play Starfield but I am amazed at how many YouTubers / streamers / content creators blew a loving gasket and outed / confirmed themselves as immensely lovely people over the character creator because of options they didn't have to use. That really ugly bald guy screeching about pronouns until the veins in his head were visible, DrDisrespect confirming that he's actually a loving transphobe / alt right gently caress wit, etc

I like it when games give you the option for your gender / presentation, but at the same time I love games like Control / the Horizon series and their female protags

In summation:

Games shouldn’t let you know the gender of your character, except as an easter egg for speedruns.

Miss Cleo wasn't psychic, she had psychic friends. And then she got arrested for tax evasion, which means either her friends weren't actually psychic, or they weren't actually her friends. I'm not sure which is more upsetting.

My main thoughts were that Jesse's cool, Dr. Darling's right to finally catch up with Emily on that opinion. She's got an alien frequency that waves it's hands at important objects in its own non-euclidan fashion and helps her use supernatural artifacts with way more proficiency than anyone on record in the FBC. She's great.

Regardless of what is in her pants, I recall there are lines about Jesse explicitly being a woman, including references to tensions from the Bureau having previously been run like an old boy's club despite the contributions of staff like Emily and Marshall. So it is relevant to the story and worldbuilding.

People are still losing their minds over the Lunacid developer adding pronoun choices to the game, too. The game at no point references your character's pronouns. As far as I know they did it specifically to annoy those people.

AC Valhalla wasn't *great* but I did think it was interesting that if you leave the main character's gender on default, Eivor is a woman in reality but a man in their dream sequences and visions. I found that neat.

I did see someone on youtube today complaining that in rat colony sim 'Ratopia' your little avatar character is set to be a female-presenting rat. 'I can't roleplay as a lady rat :('
