** I am aware of the debates regarding Naoto, but I still choose to include him for personal reasons I will not change my mind about. Do not attempt to debate me because you will just waste time for us both. You are welcome to disagree and make your own list if this inclusion bothers you.
Naoto is initially introduced as a man and presents as such, wearing the male school uniform and purposefully deepening his voice. When you get to his dungeon, his Shadow reveals that he was not assigned male at birth, and is actually a woman who disguised himself as a man to avoid misogyny in his line of work, going as far as to desire sex reassignment surgery. His dungeon also features a lot of medical themes.
The scene that takes place the next day when Naoto returns to school and joins the party features NPCs gossiping about Naoto's gender, similarly to an outing of a trans person. Naoto is shown very uncomfortable with this.
After this reveal, Naoto continues to bind their chest and wear more masculine clothing, but should the player want to unlock Naoto's romance route, the protagonist has to tell Naoto to be more feminine. During an intimate moment between the protagonist and Naoto where he expresses his wish to have been born a boy, you are able to initiate the romance route by responding, "I'm glad you're a girl."
Later, after confessing your love, you are able to ask him to change the sound of his voice in a higher pitch to sound more feminine. If you do so, Naoto comes to school in a girl's uniform during the Christmas event, despite being very visibly uncomfortable and quickly asking to change back into his masculine clothes.
Naoto also expresses discomfort in a hot springs scene where his naked body is paired alongside his cis female companions.
Shigenori Soejima, the art and character designer of Persona, says that Naoto was intended to be male all along, but that would have made for a boring story that lacks the conflict of the canon story.
An official Line Sticker also shows that Naoto binds his chest with bandages.
Also take into consideration that all of Naoto's Personas are male mythical figures.

In Chapter 2, Monokuma threatens to reveal a "secret" that each of the individual characters have. Because of this, Chihiro attempts to build trust by telling her secret to Mondo, a person she admires, which is that she was born male and dresses up as a girl due to bullying she faced as a child for "not being manly enough" and "being so weak for a boy". Chihiro then asks Mondo to help her become stronger, but this only lead to Mondo being overcome by rage and jealousy at Chihiro’s strength and courage, feeling humiliated and "unmanly", and as a result, he strikes Chihiro over the head with a dumbbell, killing her.
Chihiro's assigned gender is outed to the other characters during the following trial.

Uchikoshi has also confirmed that Marco is nonbinary. He explains that in the Japanese version, any pronouns are not used to refer to Marco, but since it is difficult to construct sentences without pronouns in English and because players might be confused* if "they" or "ze" suddenly appeared in dialogue, the localization team decided to use he/him.
(* Uchikoshi clarifies that he does not mean confused as in misunderstanding the meaning of "they" or "ze" pronouns, but rather, "Now suppose your mind is filled with many thoughts about the case. And in that state, if any other important piece of information (unrelated to the case) jumps into your head, it will be a mix of both and messed up, right? That's what I meant by confused.")

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:
Poison is introduced in Final Fight (1989), where she is either a pre-op or post-op trans woman, depending on the region where the game was released.
She is an antagonistic NPC in the arcade beat 'em up games Final Fight (1989) and Mighty Final Fight (1993). She is a playable character in the fighting games Final Fight Revenge (1999), Street Fighter X Tekken (2012), Ultra Street Fighter IV (2014) & Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (2018).
In Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, her identity is alluded to more often. Certain dialogue during a conversation with Lucia alludes to the fact that she was born with a gender not matching with her inner being. One of Poison's win quotes, "Being gossiped about is proof of my popularity!" seemingly alludes to the controversy and ambiguity surrounding her gender identity.

A substory involves an NPC named Ayaka, who is a trans woman. Talking to her at the Bantam bar will involve her asking for Kiryu's advice on how to ask out a man she is romantically interested in, eventually confessing to Kiryu about her birth assignment. She goes on into explaining her transition and how she underwent gender reassignment surgery, which is why she was unsure whether to ask out to the guy she likes since she worries about how he'll react. Kiryu is initially surprised by this, and you have the option of saying it's a bit difficult to come to terms with, but he is overall supportive of Ayaka, telling her while he can't say how the guy will react, if it goes badly it's not her fault.

@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.
