Pluralism is having a variety of options, including options that match yourself. Diversity is experience and interaction with marginalized groups.
There are more ways to represent than skin deep
Hierarchies of identity: Which identities are more likely to lead to action?
Heroes Wanted Avatars are a mix and match of presenting feminine and masculine Dragon Age Elderly are presented as just as wise and powerful Long Live the Queen All skills are important, not just feminine ones Dream Daddy Subvert norms Dragon Age (again) You don’t realize they are trans until later Hellblade Senua can see things no one else can because of her “delusions” Thou art But a Warrior You play as a Muslim defender, de-center christianity as a norm

What is a normative (and non-normative identity)?
