Bioware's recent inclusion of a transgender character in Mass Effect: Andromeda found the studio in hot water with many gamers who seemed to be split on the issue. Some found the portrayal of Hainly Abrams to be disrespectful and unrealistic, while others were simply outraged by the existence of transgender people in their video game.

We have some choice words to share with the latter, but not before highlighting our favorite instances of trans and non-binary characters throughout gaming history.

About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel. 

Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple YouTube show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a YouTube destination. Welcome to VGS.
