But it is exhausting having to constantly be on-guard against the objectification/fetishization/dehumanization of people like yourself. It would be such a privilege to go into a game like that and just ignore or disregard whatever its politics around trans-ness end up being.

That's not a luxury I have. I don't engage critically with misogyny and transphobia in media because it's fun to do so. I do so because my experiences on this planet as a trans woman every day don't really give me much of a choice.

As others have pointed out, ultimately, one way you'll be able to tell if the game is actually humanizing trans folks and condemning transphobia rather than just replicating transphobia as part of a "gritty," "realistic" world is that, if it's working, transphobes will hate it.
