From Polly's wiki:
"When first introduced in the Hunie Direct - Aug 2018 video, Polly was confirmed to be a transgender woman who had not fully transitioned. There was a mixed response to this announcement within hours of the video's upload prompting HunieDev to start a strawpoll for adding an option in-game to finish the game without a sexual encounter with Polly. The results were almost completely cut in half with two-fifths preferring to have this feature added. In a later tweet, HunieDev announced that instead of adding said option, they would add a feature to allow the player to choose Polly's gender either as a transgender female or female at birth stating that while they could not please everyone, having the player choose would be the best way to make most people happy. This too, was met with polarizing opinions to the point where HunieDev has rescinded the use of the term transgender and has opted for the terms 'female' and 'female with male genitals' as a way to avoid using any specific terminology, which has been considered to be a major downgrade in representation."

There is a trans woman character that you can help choose a name for from a list of choices. As further described in the article "The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood welcomes ALL women, and that rules" by Ty Galiz-Rowe from Gaymingmag.com:
"The new witch comes to visit Fortuna on the recommendation of her friend Dahlia. She hasn’t started her physical transition at all yet, and hadn’t come out in her mortal life. But neither of those facts matter; this Witch is a woman, and women can Ascend.
Fortuna doesn’t belabor this point or really react to the new witch being trans. Instead, she uses the new divination deck she’s created with the help of a powerful forbidden entity to help her new sister figure out who she wants to be as a Witch. The reading is focused on who the younger witch aspires to be, what she hopes for, and how she can feel most comfortable. There are a few different ways you can steer it as the player, since you’re the one choosing each reading, but the process still feels very centered around her. [...] Everyone in the coven is very welcoming to the newest addition as well."

From Wikipedia:
In real life, Sweet-P was born male. In Mobius, the alternate World everyone was trapped in, Sweet-P is given the body she desires as a teenage feminine skinny girl. As she now has the body she desires, she does not want to leave Mobius as returning home would have her return to her overweight male body and so goes against the Protagonists, who do want to leave. Sweet-P doesn't want to transition and go through surgery in real life, as she doesn't want to make things hard for her family and also finds it's too late anyway as she is overweight and in her 30s, and as such wouldn't be able to be a skinny teenage girl in real life just like in Mobius. She does still use female pronouns regardless, though almost the entire cast bar a few characters bully her, call her male, and make fun of her for being a "fat overweight man in real life." The protagonist can choose to be supportive, but also has the option to bully her for it as well.

It is heavily implied Arashi is transfeminine.
According to the Ensemble Stars wiki, while early stories from 2015-2017 had a very different approach to Arashi's character, stories released in 2018 and onward indicate a more nuanced approach toward the subject of gender identity, and have Arashi explicitly talk about "struggling with gender" in the Japanese script.
In the Japanese version of the game, Arashi uses the first-person pronoun Atashi, which is often used by women, and she loves to be referred as Onee-chan ("big sister"), and often uses that title when speaking to people.
Several characters such as Mitsuru, Madara, and Tetora refer to Arashi as "onee-chan," "daughter,” and a "charming woman."
Arashi also says this about her gender and self-love: "No matter how much I want it, and no matter how hard I try... I could never become the beautiful woman I dream to be. But even if that’s true... I won’t let it depress me. I won’t whine about it anymore. I love myself most, no matter who I am."

The game asks whether you are a lady, a gentleman, or most notoriously the third option: "My dear sir, there are individuals roaming the streets of Fallen London at this very moment with the faces of squid! Squid! Do you ask them their gender? And yet you waste our time asking me trifling and impertinent questions about mine? It is my own business, sir, and I bid you good day."
If you happen to select this option, the game will refer to you as the "er- ah- um- yes" (e.g. "Nice place, er, Si- ah, Mad-, er, yes." vs. "Nice place, Sir")

@mesterjani Thank you very much for these!! I appreciate them a ton ♡
I actually was aware of the character in Hogwarts Legacy, but given JKR's history of transphobia and the fact that she considers monetary support of the HP series to be support of her bigoted views, I actually decided against including the game at all. I know she wasnt directly involved with the creation of the game, but I still felt giving the game any attention would still benefit her. Hope this makes sense, thank you again for your suggestions!

Hi, again! Thank you for including my previous suggestions, I hope you don't mind some more.
- The Comic Wheel Sisterhood has a character who is struggling with dysphoria and the main character helps her out. You help her choose her name from a set of choices, so I don't know what to call her canonically, but I'm pretty sure she's referred to as The Peppermancer.
- Starfield lets you choose any Body Type, Walk Animation, and even pronouns including they/them.
Spoiler?: There's also a female character called Hadrian who is originally a "clone" of a man. I'm not sure if she classifies, but I did see a bald white dude having an embarrassing meltdown over it on Twitter, so I figured it might be notable.
I promise I won't spam you with these. It's your list after all. I also understand and respect your reasoning about excluding Hogwarts Legacy. I hope I didn't come off as one of those people by suggesting it.

@mesterjani Hey there, no worries! I appreciate these a lot, so by all means feel free to spam me lol. And don't worry, I didn't think badly of you for suggesting Hogwarts Legacy, so you're perfectly fine :)
Thank you again, I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you!!

Adding to Mama from Somnium Files, an exchange in the second game suggests she has had bottom surgery. In Exocolonist, some dialogue if you pursue the medical career implies Utopia is a trans woman, something the devs confirmed directly to me when I asked -> https://twitter.com/AKANEOWARII/status/1647246843699515392
7th Dragon 2020, at least in the English fan translation, features a sidequest from a "transfixing woman" to retreive her "blue pill bottle", which she says contains hormones that are very important to her. Additionally, an NPC in the sequel, 7th Dragon 2020-II, will greet the party with "Mr, Ms, Mx Murakumo!", implying that at least one member of the player-created party could be non-binary.
@lesbiankakyoin @LunaFlare thank you both! ♡♡
I have a couple of suggestions if that's okay, sorry if they're already present and I didn't see them. In Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, the latest incarnation of Hermes is nonbinary. In Harmony: The Fall of Reverie, Nora is a trans woman and Yana, Chaos, and Truth are nonbinary.
@TabletopRPGFan It's always okay! Thank you so much ^__^ ♡!!
For a suggestion I didn't see on here, The Arcana allows you to be nonbinary, one of the romance options (Asra) is nonbinary and uses he/him pronouns, and several major side characters (Valdemar, Nazali, and Vulgora) are nonbinary with they/them pronouns. There is also a minor character, Scout, who mirrors whatever pronouns your character uses, which can include they/them.
I see you already have Heart of The House by them on here, and I have no idea how you'd feasibly list them because there are so many games, but if you're not aware having nonbinary/trans options and diverse characters aside from yours are the norm for any interactive fiction game published by Choice of Games or Hosted Games! Off the top of my head a few notable ones are:
- Creme de la Creme (protagonist can be nonbinary, all romance options can have their genders selectable or randomised which both include nonbinary)
- Fallen Hero: Rebirth, Fallen Hero: Retribution (protagonist can be nonbinary; one of the romance options (Dr. Mortum) is trans, whether a trans man or a trans woman or intersex will depend on what gender you selected them to be; a major side character, Hollow Ground, also does the same as Scout from The Arcana in that they mirror whatever pronouns your character uses)
- Keeper of the Sun and Moon, Keeper of the Day and Night (protagonist can be nonbinary)
- The Wayhaven Chronicles (protagonist can be nonbinary)
- Heroes of Myth (protagonist can be nonbinary; Min, one of the romance options and a major character, is nonbinary and uses they/them)
- Versus (protagonist can be nonbinary; Prince Everly, a romance option, is nonbinary with they/them pronouns; Breeze, another romance option, is either a trans man, trans woman, or intersex depending on the gender you select for them; Oli, another romance option, at first appears to be whatever gender you selected but turns out to be the false identity for a character named Dhanthik, who is nonbinary and uses zie/zir pronouns).

You mentioned in the description that you are open to suggestions so here's my minor input.
- Cyberpunk 2077's description says that you can create a custom trans character, however, there's also a fully voice acted trans character called Claire, who gives you the racing side-quests that might be notable.
- Hogwarts Legacy also has a trans side character, the bartender called Sirona Ryan in Hogsmeade. It also lets you create your custom character as trans.
- It's not out yet but I've been paying attention to Goodbye Volcano High, which according to their FAQ has a non-binary main character called Fang. Source: https://goodbyevolcanohigh.com/faq/
- The Sims 4 and Baldur's Gate 3 both let you create trans custom characters.
I'm setting my list to private so as not to divert any attention from this definitive masterpiece.
