“…The contributions of this paper are focusing specifically on these interactions and the potential further work to be done here, as well as a summarising of the recommendations across much of the literature. As outlined by Brewer (2022), who shares the importance of Intersectionality in Game design and research, " several scholars have made inroads with their explicitly feminist (e.g. (Bardzell 2010)), queer (e.g.…”

When Intersectionality is considered within HCI it is usually only one aspect that is given attention, and this is made the topic of the study itself. Whether or not this should be the case is debated, as scope is often something researchers try to outline. This paper argues that reflexivity offers a particularly important solution when it comes to Intersectional HCI combined with the observing, analysing and understanding the impact on interactions between users and the technology, as well as the interactions between the teams building the software. This paper calls for all researchers to consider how race, gender, and other characteristics may affect their research even when these are not the topics being researched, and to share this data in publication.

Many trans people experience gender dysphoria -- distress caused by mismatches in internal and external experiences of gender. Video games engage intimately with the self, creating intense experiences involving identities, bodies, and social interaction. This combination of factors renders trans players vulnerable to gender dysphoria triggers: failures of interaction design that result in gender dysphoria. The present research undertakes a thematic analysis of four popular games, drawn from an initial corpus of 31. It contributes a definition of gender dysphoria triggers, case studies of triggering games, an initial gender dysphoria categorization to provide a useful design language, and examples of alternative designs for extant triggers. The analysis combines the authors' positionality as trans gamers; critical cultural studies methodologies, including textual analysis; a critical discourse analysis of production-side statements and interviews and player-side comments about diversity in those games; and close readings of the games themselves. The paper concludes with a call for trans inclusivity in game design, which we structure around the necropolitical concept of the relation of care.
