In Cyberpunk 2077 we choose the body but not the gender of the main character

CD Projekt RED has decided, on the basis of comments received in Cyberpunk 2077, to delete the boundaries between male and female.

Shortly after the E3 fair, the creators of Cyberpunk 2077 expressed their interest in enabling players to create a transgender character. Specifically, Cyberpunk 2077 was originally designed to allow players to choose between either a male or a female character, which to some was not in the spirit of Cyberpunk's world where transgender was a common occurrence.

As conceptual cartoonist Martha Jonkers reveals in an interview with Metro, CD Projekt RED accepted this criticism and ultimately modified the character creation system so that we no longer choose a man or a woman but a body type. Everything else is available for use in different combinations, so you can have a character with a female body and a male voice, you can add a female haircut to a male body, etc.

It should be emphasized that nothing has been taken away from the game - you can still make a character that you would interpret as a man or a woman. However, by deleting the boundaries between the two genera, the creation of the main character gains significantly more options and possibilities.
