So your character’s pronouns are tied to your voice. So if you wanted a deeper voice but playing a feminine character, they’d address you as he/him and also opposite with a higher pitched voice but on a masculine body. Like there are a lot of cis men and women who have higher and deeper voices, but the fact that they’re tied to your pronouns is wild. It also sexualises trans people, makes them a commodity. They do have a trans character who is sort of subtle with their transness (like they have the trans flag on their car and mentions in their personal quest about some stuff I can’t remember much), but it’s really just bare minimum. Especially in a genre where that sort of stuff is at the forefront. Transhumanism (which is the philosophical thought of the advancement of humans) is like a major story in the cyberpunk genre.
I also love the idea of transhumanism. It’s pretty easy for a big dev to get that shit right. How many trans and gender diverse people are devs ffs? hahaha. gah.
Yes I think that’s where the stall will be. It was really popular last year apparently. I think the organisation I volunteer for might be ok, but thanks all the same. Might see you there though, let’s chat about it closer to the time!!
I basically ignored it, I tend to get less interested in things the more they get hyped. I didn’t hear anything about trans stuff. can you explain?

Yeah I think it’s a trend that transwomen are often in IT/tech fields. (Trend is not the right word I just can’t remember what the word is)
It’s common. I expect to see a lot of us girls at pax.
Love seeing us LGBTQIA+ folks at PAX, a lot of us are enforcers too!
Never been but I’ll be working at a stall this year with other trans and enby folks.
Ahh, well, if you need some help around PAX, let me know! You working around the diversity lounge then I take it?
