The whole issue is whether something is in the game because the devs felt it was cool or had an initial artistic desire for it to be there for reasons wholly contained within the confines of concerns about the game, it's quality, the balance of its narrative and those sort of things. If, however, an addition feels motivated by either someone's political ideas or (which is what I mostly see here) the urge to cynically pander to people with those ideas then that I see as detrimental and artistically bankrupt. If we wanna talk about this game in particular some more, the trans person you play as is apparently based on some real person but the design in the game is actually more masculine than that real trans person looks in reality because they wanted to make the game purposefully genderbender in order to not alienate less transformed trans people who don't blend in as much as the one they literally designed the char to look after. Such a roundabout way is just idiotic. It's half-assed.
So yeah, I'm with you, if someone's really thinking "wow, this element is cool, lets add it!" then I'm all for it no matter what particular element it is. If someone's just cowardly trying to offend the least amount of people with a carefully calculated "lets add a trans person...but don't make em have huge boobs and look TOO much like a woman cause someone out there might thing we're against the manlier ones!" it just feels empty and devoid of passion.
Basically, this is the neoliberal narrative of fucking you with their economic policies and accusing you of being against minority groups (who are also being fucked by the same thing) as a way of delfecting criticism every time you raise a valid point. Nobody is actually against gay characters with or without any veils. You can be against something that has gay characters for reasons wholly irrelevant to it having gay characters.
