Choose Your Own Gender

These are games where the player can choose their character's own gender expression. Some games let you set your body shape, the words for you, or more, or only one of those things. Maybe your options are only he or she, or maybe you can also be they, it, or ze. 

Please explore this particular collection with caution. I haven't tried or reviewed most of these games yet, so it's too soon for me to give content warnings, and some of these games may not be what I thought.

This collection is part of my directory of other people's creations on itch.io, Curated Collections of LGBTQIA, where you can find more collections about other topics. I personally select and review each creation in them, even if they are different than my own views or experiences as a queer person myself.
