Most people don't understand what it's like to be transgender. In fact, many transgender individuals may not even realize they are trans. When they look in the mirror, it's as if they are watching a cutscene at the beginning of a video game, but unfortunately, the menu to change their appearance doesn't pop up. They spend a few moments resigning themselves to the life that has been assigned to them. They don't know why they are playing this particular game; let's be honest, it's a dull one. But there is nothing else to do, so they play on.
However, once someone realizes they are transgender, it feels like they've unlocked a secret level or downloaded exciting DLC. The game suddenly becomes a full experience. Often, this DLC irrevocably changes the base game, and it cannot be uninstalled; doing so would introduce bugs, such as broken character interactions, and make the already tedious game even less enjoyable, akin to playing it with stick drift on the controller. Why continue to play? The frustrating part is that the new content is also like starting a new game plus (NG+), where you lose many of your previous powers. You face new challenges that can seem insurmountable: choices that could lead you to an undesirable endgame, early permanent death, discrimination, rejection from factions, unfavorable merchant relations (where you get the lowest sell prices and the highest buy prices), and being excluded from certain side quests.

I recently wrote this allegory, I'm sure its not a new allegory but this is my version of it.
