I used to think my desire to play female characters was a "closeted trans" thing. It's not. I'm definitely a cis gendered male. I've realized, at least for me, it's more of a self worth thing. I don't want to play as something I don't particularly like, such as me, and so I play something as opposite as possible. I'm working on that, tho.

I am similarly cis gender, straight male (much to my more fluid spouse's amusement and dismay). I've just found the fem- voice actors to be better. Femshep, the female lead in Ghost Recon Wildlands, etc. Or maybe it's that the brah actors for the male characters sound so consistently dumb. And now it's just a thing I do.

PS. I hope you love yourself.
