The remake of the Nintendo game "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door" includes a transgender character, according to a review of the game, which was remade for the Nintendo Switch platform in the U.S.
The character Vivian, who appeared in the original version of the game, released on Gamecube in 2004, is one of three sisters who are some of the game's villains, opposing its hero, Mario.
Her sisters, Marilyn and Bedlam, often call her a boy. And in the new game, she reveals the bullying hurts because they are misgendering her.
