Ok so before I say anything. I am a straight guy. I am not trans and I am not gay. You play as both Ellie (a lesbian female) and Abby (a straight female) no one is trans, but Abby is muscular, that's it not trans, got it ok. You didn't get to pick in the first game, why would you be able to pick in this one. I'm assuming the only reason you are upset is because you wanted to be a guy, and that's a stupid reason not to play this game. Also I read some comment saying you get revenge for your gf, this is not true you get revenge for Joel. Also the trailers made it pretty clear that you'd play as Ellie. Also in the left behind dlc Ellie (who you play as) is revealed to be a lesbian. Honestly i don't see your point. Does it really matter if you're character is straight or gay? I don't think so
