It's available to read online.

She walks away from a conversation while somebody's speaking to her to correct a misaligned painting nobody else noticed, she becomes distressed among the crowd of people saying she's out of her element and doesn't understand them. And then finally her little speech where she uses her unique abilities and says that being asked about herself, where she "fits" and what makes her different used to bother her, but not anymore. It's a really badass scene where she's showing how much she's mastered her unique skills and takes pride in what makes her so exceptional.

"We wanted there to be heroes that felt approachable to each person," Kaplan said at the conference. "We all like different things, we're all attracted to different things — that's one of the beautiful things about humanity and making a game on planet Earth: how awesome the differences are."
As a part of the team's goal of making the game feel welcoming, Overwatchrevealed in December 2016 in a digital comic called Reflectionsthat the game's cover star Tracer is in a same-sex relationship.
