I think it was very brave of nintendo to put a trans woman into a game way back in the NES era. Have they stuck to their guns about her? Is she still trans or has Nintendo since retconned it? I'm not too well versed in mario lore.

the fact that Birdo is consistently referred to as female makes her the most successful trans character in VG history

yea, except for that very first time when they used male pronouns. But that was a different time period and her inclusion in the game was leap forward in and of itself. :o So glad Birdo has been able to live out and proud all these years.

Not really trans. Women with internal testicles don't see themselves as trans before or after finding out they have them.

Since Yoshi is always paired up with her, does that make him gay or a straight progressive?

You mean ovaries?

Yoshis are genderless and reproduce asexually

HOWEVER Birdo's preferred name "Birdetta" seems to have been ignored, even if acknowledging her as a woman is commonplace

Exactly what I said. Birdo is not a 1 to 1 comparison but the not knowing is the same.

Was Flea trans, or just flamboyant?


I'm actually not sure about that. I'm thinking trans, since she dressed like a woman. But then again he could just be a drag queen or cross dresser.

There's so much gray area.

I think Sm4sh's trophy for her says she's still of "indeterminate gender". Don't know how canon that is. In any case, she seems pretty female to me.
