Trans-scription
Roughly ME era Windows is open to an install wizard labeled “Gender 2.0 - InstallShield Wizard”.
On the right side, the text “Thank you for reinstalling your gender!” appears bolded followed by two options: “Reinstall using default settings (recommended)” and “Custom install (advanced)”. The latter option has the subtext “Choose your gender expression, pronouns, and other features.”
To the left in the wizard is a trans flag.

Here's some samples:

I would say that Q4OS could replicate 95/98/2000 pretty well, but it really shines in replicating XP.
