* In the adventure game ''South Park: The Fractured But Whole'', the player character is asked by Mr. Mackey if they identify as male, female, or "other". If you select "other" then Mr. Mackey calls the character's parents and reports "Your child just let me know that he, er, they identify as being [[gender neutral]]. [...] It's fine, it's just everyone was under the impression that they were a boy." After hanging up the phone, Mr. Mackey says, "This is a shocker, New Kid, but there's nothing wrong with not identifying as a binary gender. You can be whatever sex you want, OK, even if it's none. That's fine!" After leaving Mr. Mackey's office, a group of "rednecks" in a pickup truck drive up and say, "Well, well, well, if it ain't one of them gender neutrals? We don't take kindly to your types around here. Let's welcome this thing to our town," and a battle commences. (The same battle also happens if you choose to identify as a trans girl.)<ref name="SouthPark">{{Cite web |title=South Park video game 'more difficult' if you pick a transgender character |last=Duffy |first=Nick |work=PinkNews |date=8 September 2017 |access-date=13 July 2021 |url= https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/09/08/south-park-video-game-more-difficult-if-you-pick-a-transgender-character/}}</ref>
