"There is a comfort in finding and being yourself. Video games offer
opportunities for this comfort. They allow people to exist in safe spaces, to
develop community, and to explore the self – as well as the potential self.
Our recently published study explores how video games can elicit feelings of
gender euphoria for transgender people. This could be a result of a player
developing a connection with a character they feel represented by. Or, they may
simply appreciate the experience of a world in which they exist as their actual
gender.
Far from just providing an escape, our research shows video games can play a
major role in fostering inclusion for trans people, and in promoting the joy of
being trans."
