There are some in elements that lend itself to transfem introspection. Johnny is misogynistic, both towards female V and other women in the narrative. In flashback sequences he often has openly misogynistic responses, so the knowledge that he’s slowly taking over your mind is kinda disturbing.
However, it’s not really that the narrative is trans, it’s that you’re playing as a woman who is voice acted. It wasn’t even Cyberpunk that did it for me, but Fallout 4 of all games. Having an actress say the voice lines was different than having a silent protagonist who is rarely treated differently because of her gender.
That said, I still prefer my protagonists to not be voiced.
