Metroid’s Samus Aran is a Transgender Woman. Deal With It.

Gamers who aren't cisgender white men often find themselves lacking characters they can rally behind. That’s why I’m thrilled to tell you that one of the most famous women in videogame history happens to also be a transgender woman! It’s none other that Nintendo’s Samus Aran!
