This is an emotionally fulfilling experience, and something we've seen precious little representation of in bigger games. Allowing players to don a cape and cowl in the midst of strangers, and wear clothes that match your identity in public spaces. The developers also had the opportunity to send a positive message: that trans kids can be heroes. Would it replicate a moment from my own life, when a waiter loudly misgendered me in every other sentence while I squirmed in my seat? This being a superhero story, would I have an opportunity to protect another trans middle schooler from bullies, only to run up against an administration that sided with the aggressors? If I was testing their attempt at trans inclusion, I intended on visiting the town myself and seeing how its residents reacted to my presence.
