I write interactive fiction, in which it's common to give the player a choice of gender for the character they'll be playing.
My question is: Would trans folks be interested in playing characters who are also trans, or would most just prefer to play cis characters of their gender?
Someone brought this up on another board a few weeks back (unfortunately I've forgotten exactly where, as my memory is terrible), and my hunch was that most trans folks would just as soon play as cis. But I certainly could be wrong... and if I am, I'd like to know!
