Trans Video Game Character Themes ~ a Transgender Awareness Week playlist

After my Ace Week playlist, I've decided to do a series of LGBTQIA+ awareness week mixes of video game characters who fit the respective theme. This was made specifically for Transgender Awareness Week/Month 2022!
Fellow VGM mix maker ‪@ErinDromeda‬ was a huge help in organizing this playlist. She makes some great stuff, so please check her out!! / erindromeda

[@cyberia1998]

As a Trans girl, I can confirm that there is a Town Inside Me.

[@ThatOneTransGermanGirl]

Can confirm X2

[@CelesteSDBK]

Wow wow wow. As a transfem, this was so unexpected. So based and hormonepilled, thank you so much for this ;_;

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

Ahhhhh, I’m glad you liked it!! ;w;

[@Bridgetchannel3]

AHHH YOUR TRANSFEM TO HIIII

[@SweetBianca]

I'm a Trans Girl and I'm glad to see two Mario Characters in here! I love the Mario franchise!

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

I’m so happy you approve of the selections! 😂🥹

[@ErinDromeda]

Thank you so much for this video, it's genuinely so wonderful to see some light shining on some canon trans rep. The fact that there is enough to make an entire playlist out of really is amazing. I'm so glad I could help, and I really appreciate this video, as well as all the LGBTQ+ themed videos you've made.

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

It wouldn’t have been possible without your guidance! I’m happy you liked how it turned out!!

[@serenepastel]

I’d like to take a moment and praise the creators who created compelling major characters and even background characters that help to expand the world who just so happen to be trans. Representation isn’t something that’s always easy to find, so the fact that you can make a full canon playlist is fantastic. Indie developers, triple A developers, good on you. Now on to praising you. Great job on the playlist! Curating both the characters and songs that are appropriate to them couldn’t have been easy. Everything flowed together nicely. Props to you for showing off lesser known games as well!

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

It really is crazy how much good rep was out there! I feel like it shows how far we’re starting to come in terms of visibility and rights for historically persecuted groups. Thank you so much, that means a lot!! QwQ As I said in the description, ErinDromeda was a big help in stitching this together!

[@serenepastel]

@@Ahsoka_Hyrule Erin is also quite rad. Collaboration is always lovely to see!

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

@@serenepastel Agreed!!

[@plague9774]

Love the trans (Me and my partner are both non-binary 💕)

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

Thanks for listening! :D I’d definitely like to make a non-binary mix at some point 👀

[@jomama81ranch8]

non-binary.... just what the heck does that REALLY MEAN? Do you even know? This entire "movement" is so completely insane and totally demonic... you all need to find a Biblical therapist, and not one who encourages this insanity! I have watched countless videos of these former "trans" or even gay persons who, once they have had all their surgeries have REGRETTED their decision after finding Jesus Christ, which tells everybody... this entire movement is demonically influenced! You can even see this in the "I am Jazz" that HE is NOT happy as a female, and his on screen talk with his equally possessed mother, clearly shows that HE is losing a battle within himself for doing all of this! The suicide rate amongst all who buy into this is off the charts! Doesn't this mean anything to you? I feel bad for this Jazz character because what he needs is his mom to tell him..... it is OK if you feel you want to go back to living as the boy you were born as.... we LOVE you just the same no matter what!" She is going to end up losing her son, I just feel it in my gut. --- You should know that demons/Satan/evil spirits.... they want YOU DEAD! They don't care about you except to use you for their purposes, to enfluence others and then when they are finished with you they want you dead. I was so sad for the 20 something gal who had taken hormone therapy to transgender into a guy when she was 21.... only to find Jesus after she was suicidal, which most of these persons ARE, and her voice is permanently altered and she is crying and begging parents to NOT encourage and help their YOUNG kids try to change their sex until they are at LEAST an adult and can do that on their own... if they still want to when older! She said she was 21 and had made her own decision and it was a WRONG choice, but she is horrified that parents are allowing young kids to take these hormone treatments when they aren't even old enough to KNOW what is right for them! So, do all of you "trans" persons support these persons who at one time WERE part of your group and have realized they made a mistake? Absolutely NOT!! You all love them when they identify as one of YOU, but the moment they realize they were wrong (and everybody is wrong at points in their life) .... they are your mortal enemy just like normal people who "identify as the sex they were born with" ! What about all your crying that people won't "allow you to be who you feel you should be".... yet you sure won't support anyone who are fine as the sex they were born AS! We FEEL normal in the bodies we were born with.... shouldn't that be as important to you as who you feel you are? NOPE. I am sad for all of you. You need to do a study on the ancient goddess/spirit called "The Enchantress" who is the evil spirit that turns men into women and women into men. She is depicted on ancient stone carvings and was said to have a haram of men dressed as women dancing before her and she was also known as the spirit of the parades and of pride. Wow.... doesn't THAT sound familiar?? Pride parades? You are all under the influence of an evil spirit and you don't even know it!

[@tx2_kid]

I saw Bridget from guilty gear and I had to check it out!

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

I came to love Bridget dearly while making this, I hope you weren’t disappointed!!

[@dionysus913]

ArcSys just keeps bringing out the best transfem characters. Keep it coming boys my wallet is open and waiting!

[@dionysus913]

Bridget was so relatable to me in all her iterations lol. First as a feminine guy and now as a transfem. I think I’m starting to see a pattern here…

[@ari_twodollarsale]

I could listen to Confronting Myself for hours and not get tired of it, probably one of my favourite songs from any video game

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

It honestly one of my favorites out of all VGM too!

[@slurpyeel]

Reading the captions around 54:16 is where I really started to get a little teary eyed. Thank you for making this playlist. I love you all, and I hope you can all find your true self!

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

You are ever so welcome 🥹 I hope you can find your true self as well!! Best of luck 🫶

[@Potato_Bottle]

“Despite everything, it’s still you.” - Undertale Extremely blessed mix, Ahsoka, thank you for putting this out there! And to any trans brothers/sisters/siblings that may be reading this, keep surviving and thriving. The world is more vibrant and wonderful for you being in it. 🫶🏳️‍⚧️

Three Eves theme genualy strikes fear into me and memories of many demon asmr rps ive listened to

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

I want to play it at some point but the soundtrack alone terrifies me 😂😭

[@Anemonemonemona]

I didn't even knew some of these characters! :0 AND OMG LADIVA IS SO GORGEOUS AAAAAAAA (Also, after searching a bit, I must say, you need to have strength to do what she did, absolute respect) J.J. is also so badass looking! You go, girl! Those two are the ones who really inspired me while I listened to their themes. Ladiva having a more strong WWEish kinda theme like life is a game and she chose to have fun with it And JJ's is so epic, it feels like you're about to embark on a difficult and tortuous yet rewarding journey. both demonstrate different sides of life, fighting for their own selves, fighting not only to be understood, but to be respected. Thanks to everyone involved for bringing out such a beautiful playlist, it definitely inspired me and will inspire a lot of people.

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

Oh wow, thank you for such a sweet comment!! 🥹 Ladiva and J.J. Are actually some of my favorite characters in this. To hear that their themes alone touched someone so much really goes to show the power of music! I’m happy you enjoyed the mix!!

[@Placeholder12367]

Omg, yes, If Found is such an awesome game!! I also love A year of springs. Btw, if you liked those games, I can recommend you "Missed Messages" and "A New Life" by Angela He but there are some trigger warnings tho. Thank you for your awesome playlist. :))

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

Ooooo any games similar to those are definitely an interest of mine! I’ll be sure to check them out 👀 Thank you!!

[@Placeholder12367]

​np!! I hope you like 'em!! ^-^

37:34 “If I had had a nickel for every platform game with horror elements released in 2018 about a transgirl overcoming inner demons I’d have two nickels.” I know one of these is Celeste, but please what is the other one. Legit wanna try it.

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

The other one is The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories, which has a song that appears earlier in this mix! :D

In a future one of these could you add Maktha Forest from Xenoblade Chronicles 3? It's a song from an area associated with a cool non-binary character

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

Maybe I’ll do it in a non-binary mix then! :D

[@dubbie7879]

will probably play If Found at some point, but i found it kinda funny that it tells me on steam that it is similar to Half Life: Alyx and Celeste, like celeste makes sense but Half Life: Alyx?

[@heheheknife1132]

At 37:46ish there is a quote from someone mentioning TWO platforming games that came out (haha) in 2018 and were both about trans women. Does anyone know what the other game this is referring to? I feel like I knew it at some point but I must have forgotten.

[@Ahsoka_Hyrule]

The other game is The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories! :D It was also featured earlier in the mix!
