Transgender man here - the only game I can think of playing that let me be a transgender man was Dream Daddy. I think the Life is Strange director made a game with a trans guy too? I think the Dragon Age series has a side character. If anyone has any other good ones I’d love to hear about them.
Strangely, I have had no problem playing games with male or female characters. Stories have protagonists who are not like me. That’s why they are interesting.
Like I don’t think there was a game that let you play a black woman until 1992 with The Elder Scrolls: Arena. We can have a white female protagonist in one game in a series.
Same! If I had to play games where characters were all me I just wouldn’t play games lol. I definitely don’t mind playing and learning new interesting characters as well
I’m pretty sure I read that the new Dragon Age gives you an opportunity to make your character explicitly trans. Not just with character creation, but an actual dialogue choice that has an effect on how people refer to you

Baldur’s Gate 3 lets you customize gender, voice, body type, and genitals all independent of each other.
Cyberpunk 2077 let’s you change genitals, but still forces you to be either female or male with no impact on romance
It actually does impact romance, two of the characters will not romance a character where gender and genitals don’t “match”
You can’t romance Panam as a female even with male genitals, but you can romance Judy.

Here’s an article about it. I haven’t played it yet, so I can’t really offer any other insight
