that's actually a pretty cool, it gives me a weird game idea/mechanic - you turn into the opposite gender of what you picked for a quest, or until the end of the game, and your character also faces the extreme downsides that would have (gender dysphoria), and it could heavily effect your performance because of the mental strain

I mean, it sounds like having a quest where your character's leg was chopped off. Like yes, it's legit that this would make your life worse but I don't think that's the kind of challenge that people are looking for in a video game ๐Ÿ˜…

the game would not be for a broad audience, likely only to educate about what trans people go through

Translation: a game that won't make any money. I doubt there are studios lined up to make this one.

money is not always the goal, and a studio would execute the idea in the worst way possible
