I really enjoyed the writing in Pick Your Gender. Short, snappy, and to the point. The line “Disguises are meant to be removed” unironically goes really hard. As a cisgendered man, I felt boxed in by all the forced choices, which I do believe is the author’s intent. Giving the player five options, all of which are terrible, is an excellent way to communicate how difficult it must be to navigate a world not designed for you.
I’m sad that my trans and nonbinary friends are in a perpetual loop of having to explain their gender. That’s not a knock on this game, which I think is lovely, but I wish we would give them the breathing room to tell other stories.
