虚拟现实（VR）开发人员创造的体验会导致跨性别者和性别酷儿的性别焦虑和欣快。化身创建界面（ACI）和与之相关的游戏机制参与这些效果。由于VR中的所有体验开始都是从太空中的身体开始的，ACI机制可以为跨性别者和性别酷儿提供更具包容性的体验。关于ACI对性别焦虑和欣快症患者的影响的研究是有限的，并且没有在VR中解决这个问题。鉴于这种知识差距，对跨性别者和性别酷儿个体在VR中的体现的欣快和焦虑影响的研究是建设性的。为此，作为定性研究的一部分，从29个人的调查数据和访谈数据，从7个人进行了分析，使用扎根理论分析的涌现方法。数据表明，ACI VR体验为互动者提供了创造性的代理，更大的性别多样性，以及在世俗和性别肯定的情况下体现的机会，这是焦虑缓解和欣快诱导。
Virtual Reality (VR) developers create experiences that result in both gender dysphoria and euphoria for Transgender and Genderqueer individuals. Avatar Creation Interfaces (ACIs) and the game mechanics associated with them engage with these effects. Since all experiences in VR begin with a body in space, ACI mechanics can inform a more inclusive experience for Transgender and Genderqueer individuals. Research of ACIs’ effects on people with gender dysphoria and euphoria is limited and does not address the subject in VR. Given this knowledge gap, research on the euphoric and dysphoric effects of embodiment that Transgender and Genderqueer individuals have within VR is constructive. To this end, as part of a qualitative study, survey data from 29 individuals and interview data from 7 of those individuals were analyzed using the emergent method of grounded theory analysis. The data suggest that ACI VR experiences that give interactors creative agency, greater gender diversity, and the opportunity to be embodied in mundane and gender-affirming situations are dysphoria relieving and euphoria inducing.
