Trans Audience Interpretation	comment	Transgender characters are a rare topic in media, be it due to creators' personal biases, fear of misrepresenting an oppressed group, or the standards of the region (or a foreign market) not allowing open trans characters in mainstream media. Due to this lack of representation, many transgender audiences instead choose to read characters as trans. While this desire for representation applies to all members of the LGBT community and their allies, trans interpretations tend to be rarer and more personal than gay or bi interpretations and rely on a more detailed reading of the character's relationship with gender. There are generally two ways a trans headcanon manifests for a character: they either transitioned to their canon gender prior to the events of the story, or they're closeted during the events of canon and transition to another gender in post-canon fanworks and alternate universe stories. For example: if Bob grew up wearing dresses for an unknown reason, often gets mistaken as a girl due to his high-pitched voice, and has the Embarrassing First Name of "Barbara," fans might read him as a trans boy. On the contrary, if Bob is a frequent Wholesome Crossdresser who spends more time with girls than boys and expresses disdain for his body, there's bound to be some fanworks where Bob has transitioned into "Barbara". Other traits that are usually pointed out as evidence for Fanon or AU of a character being trans include: Pictures, flashbacks, or mentions of them wearing clothes commonly associated with another gender, or the character outright being Raised as the Opposite Gender. Antagonists referring to them with a different gender's pronouns, titles, or twisting their name to mock gender non-conforming behavior or traits. A strong desire to "prove" their gender identity being seen as a transitioned character's attempt to meet their high standards, or a closeted character's attempt to overcompensate and repress dysphoria. A strong negative opinion of the character's canon gender, or a desire to be seen as "not like the other boys/girls". Being unusually good or bad at stereotypically gendered tasks, such as a boy being an expert at sewing, or a girl being comically bad at applying cosmetics. Being exceptionally close to a sibling or friend of a different gender. A significant height difference from their peers, eg. a short boy, or tall girl. Being Shower Shy or overly concerned with their torso being exposed. Biological clones being of a different gender. Some characters might even openly state that they would prefer being born a different gender, although this generally only extends to certain situations where they believe (rightfully or otherwise) that another gender has it better. A character undergoing Gender Bending or Crossdressing and enjoying their alternate-gender form. If they're a Funny Animal, they may have traits that exclusively belong to the other sex of their real-life species. Being associated with or having colors matching that of the transgender pride flag. Characters with an Ambiguous Gender are often interpreted as nonbinary. A pair of Half-Identical Twins will often be interpreted as a transgender/cisgender pair to better reflect real-life genetics. If the character is a Wholesome Crossdresser, and he crossdresses enough to the point that it becomes a part of his entire character, then some may see it as a sign of him being non-binary or a closeted trans woman. Simply because there is an LGBT Fanbase for a certain character (or the character's just an all-around Ensemble Dark Horse), and said fandom likes to interpret their favorite characters in certain ways. It could also be something as simple as an actor being transgender and the fanbase deciding to apply it to the characters they play, in a fandom version of Queer Character, Queer Actor. Fans often create these headcanons for characters from cartoons and animated works that are geared towards children and teens, despite (or due to) these works typically having little to no discussion of gender identity in them. Since some of these traits are just as possible with cisgender characters, some fans prefer to see a character as just gender-nonconforming, so these interpretations are prone to cause a Broken Base if they become widespread enough in the fandom. Subtrope of Alternative Character Interpretation. Compare Rainbow Lens, where a character's situation is read as a metaphor for being LGBT, as opposed to the character being read as trans in the text proper. For instance, Bob was raised to be a paladin but later decides to become a wizard. Despite this, characters who knew him before keep referring to him as a paladin. However, if Bob wants to join an order of specifically female wizards, and laments that he was born as a man, it is instead this trope. Also compare Ambiguous Gender Identity, where the gender identity of the character is uncertain. Note that the term transgender includes everyone whose gender is different from the one they were assigned at birth. This trope thus includes characters who are implied to be nonbinary or genderfluid. This trope is also sometimes invoked by the creators through subtext.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_13652756	comment	Finding Nemo: It is hilariously common to head-canon Marlin as being a trans woman due to how real-life clownfish biology works. If there arenâ€™t enough female clownfish around, then the males will turn into females, and sometimes, theyâ€™ll even mate with their children to reproduce. In other words, if the movie was biologically accurate, then Marlin would be female, and would have likely mated with Nemo.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_14048d93	comment	Yellow Brick Ramble: This is a comic adaptation/reinterpretation of the second Land of Oz novel, The Marvelous Land of Oz. Anyone who has read the original novel will remember the twist ending where the main character, the farm boy Tippetarius, turned out to be the long-lost Princess Ozma, heir to the throne of Oz. When Ozma was a baby, the Wizard of Oz bribed the witch Mombi to kidnap her and magically change her into a boy, all to make sure nobody could contest The Wizard's flimsy claim to the throne. At the end of the novel, Mombi is forced to reveal all of this and to transform Tippertarius back into Ozma. The restored Princess Ozma then becomes the new ruler of Oz. Because of that twist ending, many transgender people have come to see this novel as a sort of transgender coming-of-age story, and Yellow Brick Ramble explicitly rewrites much of the story and characters with that interpretation in mind. Be aware, though, that the webcomic assumes the reader knows all of that spoiler-tagged information, because that knowledge is absolutely central to how the comic artist has rewritten the story. People sensitive to spoilers are advised to read the original novel first before diving into this webcomic. Fortunately, the copyright on The Marvelous Land of Oz expired a long time ago, so it is legally available for free all over the internet.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_16fc4335	comment	Firesong k'Treva, in Heralds of Valdemar, is a Tayledras, from a Non-Heteronormative Society where androgyny is the norm. Outsiders often struggle to distinguish men from women and long hair and elaborate, colorful clothing are not gendered, so that Firesong is a Long-Haired Pretty Boy is unremarkable. Still, Firesong is set apart from Tayledras men in that he can call on Need, described in a way that goes far enough into In Touch with His Feminine Side that it suggests he is genderfluid or otherwise nonbinary. Another Tayledras character, Stormwing, was in a short story in Oathblood. Need's bearer at the time has Gaydar keen enough that she can't just tell that he's gay but that he's "balanced" in a unique way, "so completely accepting of his own male and female natures that he felt poised, like a bird about to fly-" and Need protects him from harm as she would a woman.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½ protagonist, Ranma Saotome, canonically loathes his Sex Shifter curse and very vocally wants to be restored to normal, with a plethora of stories showing that he will risk his life and reputation without hesitation in pursuit of a cure. At the same time, he's also canonically willing to exploit his curse for any perceived "perks", mostly scoring extra servings of free food, willing to exploit his female form as a disguise or to prey upon the lechery of those around him (such as resident Dirty Old Man Happosai), and extremely vain about his looks in either form. There has always been a section of the fanbase that interprets him as nonbinary or even a full-fledged trans woman, often in extremely heavy denial, due primarily to these latter traits. By extension, the crossdressing characters have similarly picked up a sizable fandom that reinterprets them as trans (or, far more rarely, nonbinary). This is rarest for Ukyo, perhaps due to her still-very-feminine behavior and the fact that the Animated Adaptation tones down the crossdressing compared to the manga, but interpreting Konatsu as a transgirl is very popular, in no small part helped by the fact that his feminine behavioral conditioning is so extreme that when surprised in a bath, his instinctive reaction is to cover the breasts he doesn't have.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_1cf10d97	comment	Orochimaru, by the time of Boruto, is read as trans, nonbinary or intersex by a good chunk of the fandom because of his androgynous looks and Ambiguous Gender Identity. He is usually referred with male pronounces In-Universe, but his gender was a subject of debate in the anime a few times, with several characters being curious if he is a mother or father for Mitsuki, an answer Mitsuki himself doesn't have. When Mitsuki asked once Orochimaru if he is his mother or father regarding the way he was brought into the world, Orochimaru simply stated that there is no definitive answer to his question, because at different times in his life, Orochimaru possessed the body of a man, a woman, or something else entirely (like Zetsu's alien body). One cannot get more trans than this in the Narutoverse.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_1ef6a11b	comment	Both of the male protagonists in the Nightrunner fantasy series by Lynn Flewelling get interpreted as genderqueer by some fans, though for different reasons: The teenager Alec was very obviously based on classic ingenue tropesnote (blond and blue-eyed; generally kind-natured, caring and somewhat naive personality; lots of blushing and embarrassment about nudity even in an all-male situation; several instances where he is sexually threatened by male enemies; etc.), which the first-time author simply genderflipped back in the late 1980s / early 1990s when there weren't really any established writing conventions for m/m romance storylines yet. As a result of this and an almost total lack of typically teenage-male anxieties or Male Gaze in his narrationnote (He's supposed to be bisexual, but mostly shies away from girls who come on to him and shows so little attraction to anyone - except Seregil after living with him for half a year, a female sex worker who reminds him of Seregil's female disguise, and a woman with a virgin-fetish who used mind-altering magic to "seduce" him - that a demi-sexual or gray-ace interpretation makes more sense.), his psychology comes across more like that of a tomboy than that of a cisgender boy. Seregil, the older protagonist, has a more convincingly male personality, but he's a Long-Haired Pretty Boy (Alec also grows his hair out in the later books) and he actually spends a good chunk of the first book in female disguise - which he is quite enthusiastic about and he is pretty enough while in drag and convincing enough in his undercover identity as a young-ish noblewoman that straight men fall in lust with him if they don't know about his real gender and even his straight-identifying male best friend of many years gets uncomfortably confused to the point that he refuses to work with him whenever he's in female disguise. It also helps that both of these characters are of slender/wiry build and elven and thus don't really grow body hair, with Seregil expressing some dysphoria about the beard he gets stuck with for a few days when he is magically body-swapped with another male friend.

She also showed some discomfort in how Hyakkimaru treats her after discovering she's female. Many adaptations make clear that Dororo eventually identifies as her birth sex, however.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_24931627	comment	Major Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell is often read as trans. She was assigned a sexless yet stereotypically female shell by Section 9. She feels a strong disconnect with her body, with that awareness making her feel isolated. She goes out of her way to go diving even if it is something her body wasn't "designed" for. She merges her consciousness with the Puppet Master, a being created with no gender, has a female body and uses he/him pronouns, and gains a new understanding of herself, in a way that could be read as her transitioning. Depending on whether one reads the manga or watches the movie, she is reborn in either a male or female shell, for which she does not seem to care much, as her new consciousness understands her body does not define her.

This interpretation cites the two's similar hair, Ms. Frizzle's flamboyant demeanor and unflappability, and her self-described "private and powerful passion for pickles." Spironolactone, an androgen blocker commonly taken by trans women in the US, is also a potassium-sparing diuretic that frequently causes dehydration and hyponatremia, resulting in increased thirst and cravings for salt. Pickles solve both of these problems and are a meme in trans communities as a result. Likewise Liz goes by female pronouns, but only biologically male Jackson Chameleons have horns like Liz.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_404b0f84	comment	An increasingly popular fanon idea in later years particularly following The Homestuck Epilogues is that main protagonist John Egbert is a closeted trans girl (commonly given the name June based on a line in this conversation), with many attributing his supposedly maternal worry for his friends and his later isolated and depressed behavior in adulthood to the concept among other things. The June theory was actually later acknowledged by Andrew Hussie, the creator of the comic; after an Alternate Reality Game where the winner wished for the theory to become canon, Hussie made a tweet stating "you were the first to find my treasure, and so it will be done"; with Hussie and Homestuck itself being famous for liberal use canonization and acknowledgement of fan ideas, many have taken this to mean trans John is now canon and as such referring to him as June (though it has yet to show up concretely in any actual official material).

She has a trans pride flag hanging in her room, and later in the movie, when she finally has a conversation with her father and yells at him about having to hide part of herself in case he didn't accept her, she is bathed in bright blue, pink, and white light (the "Trans Pride" colors) which solidified the implications to many that her arc is an analog to those in the transgender community coming out to their loved ones. An alternative theory is that the Peter Parker from Gwen Stacy's dimension is also trans due to his somewhat scrawny and weak physical appearance, and his need to "get stronger" using the lizard serum.

It helps that many characters in the show including Ed's own father comment on how hard it is to tell if she's male or female, and the live-action adaptation seemingly supports the idea given its casting of a nonbinary actor in the role. Shinichiro Watanabe himself described Ed as a character who "transcends humanity" and whose gender is meaningless in a 2017 IGN interview, which only fuelled the intepretation.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_468bebb0	comment	The Discworld has the dwarfs, an entire species whose culture has only one gender (Always Male) and the biological aspect is completely separated from their presentation. When younger dwarfs emigrate to Ankh-Mopork, some of them decide they want to distinguish themselves by presenting as women just as the humans do, the first one to do so in-series being Cheri (nÃ©e Cheery) Littlebottom. Interpreting Cheri (and later ones like Dee and Rhys) as a trans woman is consequently very popular. Monstrous Regiment also has Jackrum, who is very frequently interpreted as a trans man due to having spent so long playing Sweet Polly Oliver that he feels uncomfortable with the idea of returning to a woman identity. The narration also only refers to Jackrum as 'she' during The Reveal, only to return to 'he' during the character's last appearance. Quite a few fans also interpret Maladict(a) the vampire as genderfluid or nonbinary or trans-masculine, because their behavior has everyone convinced they are male throughout the entire story (even a bunch of girls who are less successfully crossdressing) and because they don't reveal their biological sex when all the girls come out to each other as female. Instead, they only mention this near the end of the book, when the protagonist gazes admiringly at a female officer from another country who is actually dressed in a uniform that reveals that she is female, thus implying that her superiors don't have a problem with female military service.note (Though the character in question is actually a police officer, and her boss is adamant that the police should not operate like a military force. The point about much greater gender equality in Ankh-Morpok still stands.) People who ship Mal and Polly sometimes interpret the former's decision to reveal their biological sex at this particular moment as the action of a person who is generally more comfortable presenting as male and only was like "Oh, so you like boobs? I have boobs too, you know." when they saw their crush admiring a woman in boob armor. Especially considering that Polly had shown zero physical attraction to anyone throughout the entire book up till this point, so her sexual orientation is pretty much left up to interpretation both by the reader and in-universe.note (Her staring at the female officer wasn't about attraction either, though it could easily be interpreted that way by a bystander.)

Some fans have taken this as him being a closeted trans girl.

He's not good at sports but wants to be so that he can be 'like one of the guys.'

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck: Some fans, such as the authors of John Egbert and the Goblet of Sick Fires have interpreted Dave as a trans man. A lot of his character arc involves musing about and struggling with the conventions and expectations of masculinity (his character plays with the 90s Totally Radical cool guy archetype), bolstering this interpretation, though canon ties this to him accepting his bisexuality. This fan theory got an indirect nod in the post-canon sequel The Homestuck Epilogues (Meat), when Roxy, Dave's biological mother, comes out as transmasculine and becomes basically a clone of Dave, matching his exact appearance and mannerisms. This interpretation became so popular that the idea of trans men naming themselves after Dave became a meme among the fandom. An increasingly popular fanon idea in later years particularly following The Homestuck Epilogues is that main protagonist John Egbert is a closeted trans girl (commonly given the name June based on a line in this conversation), with many attributing his supposedly maternal worry for his friends and his later isolated and depressed behavior in adulthood to the concept among other things. The June theory was actually later acknowledged by Andrew Hussie, the creator of the comic; after an Alternate Reality Game where the winner wished for the theory to become canon, Hussie made a tweet stating "you were the first to find my treasure, and so it will be done"; with Hussie and Homestuck itself being famous for liberal use canonization and acknowledgement of fan ideas, many have taken this to mean trans John is now canon and as such referring to him as June (though it has yet to show up concretely in any actual official material).

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_52e8fba	comment	Princess Ozma of the Land of Oz series is seen by many Oz fans as a transgender icon thanks to the twist ending of the second novel, The Marvelous Land of Oz. When Ozma was an infant, the Wizard of Oz bribed the witch Mombi to kidnap Ozma and magically change her into a boy to hide her away so the Wizard could take the throne of Oz without challenge. Mombi renamed her Tippertarius, and "Tip" grew up into a teenager without ever suspecting any of this. At the end of the novel, Glenda, the Good Witch of the South, forced Mombi to reveal all of this and transform Tip back into Ozma. The restored Princess Ozma then became the ruler of Oz. Not much more was ever said about it in the original books (not surprisingly since they were written in the early 1900s), which basically gives modern writers a clean slate to make Ozma's first appearance in the series be much less seamless than the second novel made it appear. Sometimes that's as simple as making her a Tomboy Princess, and sometimes she's given even more severe gender identity issues. Depending on point of view, Ozma could be seen as either a transboy or a transgirl, and different works vary on which one they go with. For instance, the tv show Emerald City went with the former, while the webcomic Yellow Brick Ramble goes with the later.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_5755b96a	comment	In The Order of the Stick, the character Minrah is introduced in the final arc as basically an outsider to the group (who only knows the protagonists as a high-level adventuring party). In one strip she talks about how she used to be a guard, how everyone said she couldn't be a cleric, and now everyone only knows her as a cleric (paralleling Belkar's own status as a Heroic Comedic Sociopath before his own character development). There's also something about her that Thor felt the need to reassure her about, although since he went out of his way to keep the details private it could be anything. Along with some other details (like her mum passive-aggressively showing her her baby pictures before she sets off, and the way she responds to the phrase "preach it sister!") have caused a lot of readers to interpret her as a trans woman (despite the author saying he'd rather avoid writing a trans character due to not knowing how to do so properly).

After Jin Mazama forces her to accept that she is female, Yena very briefly dabbles in being more feminine but decides that being true to herself means going back to wearing men's clothing. This combined with her being a lesbian with a romantic interest in Hitomi Hino has led many fans — particularly Western ones — to happily claim her as trans representation.

Skid is commonly interpreted as a trans boy due to his maskless self looking rather feminine, in combination with his high-pitched voice. Robert is often seen as nonbinary, due to his original voice actor, Coffee, also being nonbinary. Some people see Lila as being a trans woman due to the Early-Installment Weirdness of Sr. Pelo himself voicing her in the first Spooky Month animation. It helps that in "Tender Treats", she has more lines in Pelo's voice during the flashback to that moment, and Lila subsequently lampshading her different voice implies it was an In-Universe change. Going hand-in-hand with fans interpreting Lila as a trans woman, fans will also headcanon Skid's father as a trans man, to keep both of them as Skid's biological parents via his father being the one to carry him. Kevin is commonly interpreted as a trans man, due to the colors of his uniform matching the colors of the trans flag.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_6d4577fc	comment	BIONICLE: As the inhabitants of the world of Mata Nui are all semi-organic robots with no difference in sexes (besides girls being blue) and ability to upgrade their own bodies, trans headcanons are popular among the wider cast of Matoran and Toa. Takua the Matoran, later Takanuva the Toa of Light, is a popular choice for trans headcanons. In their first appearances in the Bionicle video games, Takua was noted to be unusual among the Matoran in that, despite being told he was a Ta-Matoran, he felt uncomfortable staying in one place and preferred to travel the island exploring from village to village. Takua's arc in Mask of Light further aids this interpretation, in which Takua tends to deny having any kind of destiny despite the Mask of Light calling him, until he finally accepts it and transforms into his true form as the Toa Takanuva. Later lore would reveal that Takua was never a Fire Matoran, but a Light Matoran whose identity was secretly kept from him for his own safety, adding another angle to why he seemingly experienced dysphoria with who he was raised to believe he was.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_73383fee	comment	Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: The Danganronpa series's most common candidate for transgender interpretations is Chihiro Fujisaki, a cis male character in the canon of the games who, being bullied at a young age for being "weak" and "unmanly", decided to crossdress and present as female in order to escape it and better conform to Japanese gender roles. Canonically, Chihiro himself confirms he's a guy in School Mode, but a lot of fans refuse to accept this. Many fans see Chihiro as a trans girl in spite of the games saying otherwise, pointing out how, while the concept of being bullied for being gender-nonconforming is a real issue, the fact that they saw presenting as female so that they wouldn't get bullied as a solution is seen as ridiculous even by the standards of the game's usual tone. On top of that, many elements of Chihiro's storyline are seen as making more sense and being more relatable if they were a trans character, including their fear of their assigned gender at birth being revealed and them being a software programmernote While in-universe this is supposed to be a clue that they are actually male, "software programmer" is, in real life, a stereotypically-popular profession for trans women. Finally, many trans fans have pointed out that their storyline indulges in transphobic storytelling tropesnote Having their birth sex being revealed through groping; having the people around them react in horror and immediately use the opposite pronouns as soon as they find out about said sex; being the victim of what could be seen as a trans panic attack that are excused with the non-justification of them actually being a crossdressing cis boynote though some fans tend to counter back with noting Values Dissonance in seeing cisgender feminine men as "actually" trans women, and that, by virtue of calling attention to said tropes, Chihiro being trans is actually the less problematic interpretation of their character. While it isn't quite as prevalent as viewing the character as a trans girl, there are also a good number of fans who split the difference between the game's text and the territory it goes into by interpreting Chihiro as a transgender boy. While doing so unfortunately doesn't confront the worst of the tropes in their storyline, it at the very least covers making their backstory seem less outlandish and adds an extra layer to the character's intended themes, as the experience of getting picked on for not fitting others' ideas of what a man "should" be and presenting as female for fear of further negative attention is an unsurprisingly, if sadly, relatable one to many transmasculine individuals. Leon Kuwata is another favorite for transgender interpretations among LGBT fans. While his given name is traditionally masculine, it's written as "Reon" in kanji in a way that's often used as feminine, leaving room to imagine him as a trans boy who opted for a subtle Sobriquet Sex Switch after coming out. He's also highly, if cluelessly, preoccupied with developing a "cool" image for himself to maximize his appeal to girls; and many trans people, especially young and/or recently-out people, can relate to the idea of awkwardly feeling one's way through remaking oneself and seeking validation when it comes to conventional gender roles through such means as being seen as attractive. And unlike Chihiro, his gender identity is never given any focus since he dies too soon.

This is based mainly on the rather notorious episode "Profit and Lace": after going through an Easy Sex Change as part of a Zany Scheme, the normally male-identifying Quark, who is from a No Woman's Land society, appears to have remarkably little difficulty transitioning to being a woman for the duration. As nearly everybody involved considers this episode an Old Shame and most fans would rather not acknowledge its existence, this is very unlikely to be further explored.

The narration also only refers to Jackrum as 'she' during The Reveal, only to return to 'he' during the character's last appearance. Quite a few fans also interpret Maladict(a) the vampire as genderfluid or nonbinary or trans-masculine, because their behavior has everyone convinced they are male throughout the entire story (even a bunch of girls who are less successfully crossdressing) and because they don't reveal their biological sex when all the girls come out to each other as female. Instead, they only mention this near the end of the book, when the protagonist gazes admiringly at a female officer from another country who is actually dressed in a uniform that reveals that she is female, thus implying that her superiors don't have a problem with female military service.note (Though the character in question is actually a police officer, and her boss is adamant that the police should not operate like a military force. The point about much greater gender equality in Ankh-Morpok still stands.) People who ship Mal and Polly sometimes interpret the former's decision to reveal their biological sex at this particular moment as the action of a person who is generally more comfortable presenting as male and only was like "Oh, so you like boobs? I have boobs too, you know." when they saw their crush admiring a woman in boob armor. Especially considering that Polly had shown zero physical attraction to anyone throughout the entire book up till this point, so her sexual orientation is pretty much left up to interpretation both by the reader and in-universe.note (Her staring at the female officer wasn't about attraction either, though it could easily be interpreted that way by a bystander.)

He takes very quickly to having the morphing power and immediately starts spending as much time as possible in bird morph to escape his problems, even claiming that becoming human feels like being shut into a prison. This reluctance gets him trapped as a red-tailed hawk but while he has angst about this for the whole series, even when he has the power to assume human form again he shows a strong dislike for his human body and feels wrong and awkward in it, struggling to navigate social situations. In the 43rd book, he morphs a female Villain of the Week and is nervous and excited at the prospect, then strikingly happy and comfortable in her body and much smoother than usual, easily navigating a verbal misstep and enjoying positive attention from bystanders. That's also the book where he considers whether he stayed too long in morph to avoid the complicated or unpleasant parts of his life, and when listing them starts with "being a boy".

Like her "father" she was Raised as the Opposite Gender, though she is (usually) referred to by feminine pronouns and wears feminine — if tomboyish — clothes. However, Mordred is brash and aggressive, and treating her like a woman (as well as treating her too much like a man) is a major Berserk Button — leading fans to interpret Mordred as being trans or nonbinary despite Nasu stating definitively that Mordred is obviously a woman, with some insisting that he is conflating gender identity and biological sex.

Astolfo was one of the paladins of Charlemagne and is canonically male according to the light novel and supplemental materials, but due to a legend where he dressed in women's clothing to cheer up his comrade Roland he manifests as a petite, androgynous boy with long pink hair styled into a braid and decorated with bows, and dresses exclusively in women's clothing because he likes beautiful things. Like Bridget from Guilty Gear, Astolfo is one of the originators of the transphobic "trap" joke/stereotype. However, his feminine appearance and wardrobe, his Servant stats displaying his gender as "le Secretâ™ª", and that he's given bust/waist/hip measurements (something typically only reserved for female characters) have led some to claim that Astolfo is actually a trans girl; and Fate/Grand Order added fuel to the fire by listing his gender as "???".

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_9688ee61	comment	Many audiences, particularly Western ones, interpret Haruhi, the protagonist of Ouran High School Host Club as non-binary, often headcanoning her as agender, genderfluid, or bigender. This is because of her extremely noncommittal and blasÃ© attitude towards gender and gender presentation. She has no problem wearing a dress or pink and being called a girl, but she tends to keep her hair cut short and wear baggy clothes, leading to her often being mistaken for a boy. She isn't offended by this and doesn't correct anyone who calls her "he". In the original Japanese dialogue, she also refers to herself as "ore," a masculine pronoun. Haruhi's dad is a Drag Queen who prefers to wear women's clothes and makeup in his daily life, which partially explains why Haruhi is so open-minded and casual about it. The fact that she's completely fine being perceived as either male or female and never bothers to correct anyone who makes an assumption one way or the other has led to many fans believing she doesn't strictly identify as either. (Word of God denies this, but that doesn't stop anyone.)

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: The series is ambiguous as to Yamato's gender identity — he looks feminine enough, but refers to himself as the reincarnation of the male Kozuki Oden and consequently uses male pronouns. Official material is inconsistent, sometimes treating him as a man and sometimes as a woman. Many fans interpret him as a trans man or genderfluid because of this. That One Piece already has a canonical transgender character in Kikunojo helps. Roronoa Zoro is subject to this via a somewhat popular headcanon that interperets Zoro's backstory as a trans allegory. As a young kid, Zoro went to go study at a dojo and where he met a young girl named Kuina. Kuina was skilled, but often looked down on because of her gender, and at one point expressed a desire to be a boy instead of a girl. Later, Kuina would die by falling down the stairs and Zoro took up her sword as a way to symbolically carry her with him. The Trans Headcanon is that Zoro was Kuina, and that her death was symbolic of Zoro's decision to transition. Adding onto this, one of Zoro's most recognizeable features is a large scar across his chest that he got via a duel with Mihawk, a scar which he wears with pride, similarly to the way many trans men treat the scars from top surgery, Sanji also gets this, as there is a popular headcanon that he is a closeted Trans Woman. Not only is he extremely skilled at cooking and cleaning (both steryotypically feminine tasks), but during the Punk Hazard Arc, when various members of the Straw Hat Crew are all swapped into each other's bodies, Sanji ends up in Nami's body and, unlike other crew members swapped into opposite-gender bodies, Sanji expresses no feelings of dysphoria. Another thing that ties into this is his rivalry with Zoro, which this headcanon proposes comes from a place of jealousy at seeing another trans person being able to live openly and feely while they remain stuck in the closet due to their own insecurities.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_a9d9d1f1	comment	Lady Oscar, the heroine of the classic shojo manga and anime The Rose of Versailles is often interpreted as nonbinary, genderfluid or trans-masculine by newer fans. She was raised as a man and enters a military career in her teens. While she does dress up as a lady once to try to charm a man she had a crush on, she otherwise refuses to revert to female presentation when her father reconsiders his plan and tries to arrange a marriage for her. And in the original, she uses a masculine version of the Japanese "I" ("ore") when she is talking to her lower-ranked friends, and only uses the more feminine "watashi" in more formal situations such as talking to the queen. She has many admirers of both cis genders, because she's presented as so handsome in a uniform that Even the Girls Want Her. (She does have long, pretty '80s Hair and her uniforms are extremely Bling of War, but this story is set in 18th century France, so the same is true for at least some of the cis-male aristocrats.) And she suffers a sexual assault that can easily be interpreted as an attempted 'corrective' rape.note (The attacker is her childhood friend who actually is in love with her and is frustrated that she is not 'available' to him due to her social rank and refusal to marry. And he stops himself and tearfully apologizes when she shuts down in shock after he forces a kiss on her and accidentally rips open the chest of her shirt.) Basically, the idea is that Riyoko Ikeda would have written her heroine as officially genderqueer if she had known that was a thing, back in the 1970s.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_abb595ea	comment	Here Lies Arthur has two characters Raised as the Opposite Gender who can be easily read as trans or genderfluid. The protagonist, Gwyna/Gwyn was assigned female at birth but spends most of her childhood living as a boy, and when she is forced to return to living as a female after puberty finds it very difficult to adjust. As an adult she is living as a male again and seems more comfortable as it, so she can be easily read as a trans male. Gwyna's love interest Peredur is more ambiguous. He was born a boy and raised a girl by an overbearing mother who didn't want him to grow up and die in battle like his father and brothers, and unlike Gwyna he genuinely believed he was female until adulthood. As a teenager, he does find himself more drawn towards the role of a man in his time, i.e. as a warrior, and does strike out to become one after learning the truth about his sex. However, he never fully fits in with other men and the ending of the book is deliberately ambiguous about whether he has returned to his female persona or not.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_b0028436	comment	JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean has Anasui, who is commonly interpreted as a trans man or genderfluid: in his first appearance, he is drawn with a visibly female body. However, the next time we see him, he's been Retconned into a man and stays that way for the rest of the story. Considering how his Stand has the ability to manipulate peoples' bodies from the inside, it's easy to imagine that he used his powers to transition into a more masculine body in between his first two appearances. Word of God says that Anasui was always envisioned as a character who "went beyond the standard definitions of gender", which helps support (or even confirm, depending on how you look at it) this theory. In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven, there's some unused interactions between Tequila Joseph and other characters that make it very easy to interpret him as a closeted trans woman. Namely, Stroheim straight up offering to make Joseph a woman (with superior German technology), and Lisa Lisa saying she accepts him for who he is. Joseph then wonders why he feels conflicted about his new look receiving a positive reaction. Unused outro dialogue also has Lisa Lisa asking why he doesn't just dress that way all the time. And that's not even going into dialogue in the game proper, in which Joseph says he 'might get addicted to [crossdressing]', states that he's 'dead serious' about it, and claims (as Old Joseph) he has to keep his 'disguise' a secret from his family...

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_bb1b8e8c	comment	Critical Role: Back when this webshow didn't have any official transgender representation yet, Vex'ahlia was interpreted as a trans woman by a few fans, due to the fact that she's frequently described as looking identical to her twin brother except for a couple of inches difference in height. There's also the fact that she has a very unsupportive father (the twins ran away from home as young teenagers because of his neglect and emotional abuse), whom she nevertheless still wants to impress or prove herself to (unlike her brother, who has simply stopped caring about what their father thinks). And while she's normally a very self-confident character, she anxiously fusses with her outfit the night before meeting her father again after many years, trying to make sure she looks "put together". (In canon, this is about her elven father's classism and racism against his own half-human children.) Some people interpret the current incarnation of Leylas Kryn as transgender. While it is canon that she and her consort have had all sorts of bodies and genders throughout their multiple lifetimes, there was no official statement on her current identity and she's not listed as a trans character on the wiki. However, the tie-in comic The Tales of Exandria: The Bright Queen noticably avoids showing her torso naked in the brief sex scene (and in an artistic nude alternative cover illustration, her cup size seems so small that she can cover up completely with just her slender hands - which kind of implies that the bust of her usual dresses is padded). Also, she has apparently no problem believing that she could impregnate her currently butch-but-cis-female consort, though there was some unexplained magic involved in this conception. And after the writer got to this scene, the artist started drawing her with noticably more masculine facial features (jawline, nose, etc.) The artist's character design notes also describe her as "broad-shouldered and statuesque". One gets the feeling that at least the comic artist decided that the whole magical child storyline and the protagonist's frustrated/alienated reaction after she starts suspecting that the kid is not actually hers but rather the result of a vaguely implied sexual assault by a supernatural enemy would make more sense if the protagonist was trans, even if that was not the official line that the comic creators got from the webshow's Game Master.note (And Matt, being the good ally that he generally is, almost certainly would have mentioned on Twitter if the trans-female interpretation was intended for this character. Unlike with mainstream TV shows, there's literally nothing stopping him, and he has declared a handful of other non-player characters from campaign 2 to be trans.) Also, the narrative framing device of this comic is about a 'teenage' Drow boy who's recovering his memories from a past life as the Bright Queen's consort throughout this storyline and in the end, he(?) accepts that as his(?) identity going forward, though it's left open to the reader's interpretation whether this character keeps identifying as male or switches to a genderqueer self-identification. Ashton is canonically nonbinary and uses he/they pronouns, but some fans interpret them as trans-masculine as well. This is partly based on some Rainbow Lens statements (e.g. that they used to be "soft" as a child and only started developing the literally hard-as-stone body of an Earth Genasi at the age when kids normally enter pubertynote It's left unclear whether this is the normal development pattern for the Earth Genasi race or if some outside influence turned him "hard" artificially, like a metaphor for hormone treatment during transition.), as well as their outfit in the official character art (which seems specifically designed to make the character easy to cosplay if you need to wear a binder, instead of being shirtless like male barbarian class characters are traditionally depicted). And also based on the fact that the player pushed for a bathhouse scene very early on, but then conspiciously didn't use that scene to reveal what his character looks like in the nude - rather, he just said that Ashton bathes alone and doesn't want to be touched by the bath attendants. (Though this later turned out to be a chronic pain issue and not necessarily a body dysphoria issue.) And there's also the Fridge Logic question why a gruff and buff brawler, who really doesn't have any particularly feminine personality traits, would ever decide to identify as nonbinary, if they were assigned male at birth... (Unlike with most examples on this page, it is entirely possible that this trans-masculine interpretation is actually intended by Taliesin, Ashton's player, who is bisexual and somewhat gender-nonconforming and clearly cares a lot about providing queer representation even for rarer minorities. But he probably wouldn't ever officially confirm this, because while several of Critical Role's cis-male players have portrayed cis-female characters and this is not considered a problem in this Actual Play Tabletop RPG webshow medium, a cisgender player portraying a transgender character would probably still be considered appropriative by this show's queer fans.) The fans who interpret Ashton as trans-masculine often also head-canon Orym as transgender, especially in fanfic that ships these two together. There's actually little basis for this, other than gay trans-male fans identifying with Orym's attraction to muscular guys who are a good deal taller than him. (He's a gay Halfling, so that's true for most of his potential shipping pool anyways.) And, well, Liam (Orym's player) is a very emotionally expressive and romantic soul who likes to cuddle with whoever sits next to him at the table (in campaign 3, that includes Taliesin, Ashton's player) and he just has something about him that leads even some lesbian fans to say that they're attracted to him or to his cis-female one-shot charactersnote (Liam does not dress up in drag for these female roles, and his personal style isn't gender-nonconforming at all, unlike with Taliesin or Matt, who sometimes wear nail polish and/or eyeliner. With Liam, it's purely a matter of conveying femininity through understated but oddly convincing body language and a soft-spoken voice.) (and in some cases also to Vax'ildan, who is cis-male but very much an elven Long-Haired Pretty Boy). And besides that, there's probably also a factor involved where some afab nonbinary or trans-male-but-not-dysphoric fanfic writers prefer to write erotic fanfiction that only involves characters who have body parts that they can relate to. The Archfey Artagan is canonically male and Matt gave him a deep, masculine voice, but at the same time his fey nature, the long red hair and Matt's somewhat queer-coded body language while portraying this character make him come across as so androgynous that Liam jokingly refers to him as "David Bowie". As a result, it's quite easy to interpet Artagan as genderqueer if you so wish - especially since he also likes to shapeshift for the sake of disguise or just to mess with people, and between campaigns, he became a Trickster God, very similar to Loki in the mythology example above. Some of the fan artists interpret him as so feminine and beautiful◊ that it's really hard to tell that he's supposed to be cis-male. In the one-shot special The Night Before Critmasnote (That's not a typo.), Marisha played a Christmas elf of indeterminate gender, who can be interpreted in all sorts of genderqueer ways, but there was never any official statement about his/her/their gender identity.note (This character is a lumberjack with a long, bushy beard, female-style eyes in the cartoony official character art, a gender-neutral name, and a gender-neutral personality as The Ace. The other players used various pronouns to refer to this character throughout the game session and Marisha never corrected anyone. Beyond the other players' initial surprise that she decided to give her character a fancy beard, the character's gender presentation was simply never questioned or discussed. The female guest player they had at the table for this one-shot special then proceeded to roleplay her "excited fangirl" type character as having a massive crush on the lumberjack.) Also, Matt's male player character in this one-shot special lends itself to a transgender interpretation - not because of the very traditionally masculine (and slightly axe-crazy) "ex special forces" type personality or because of the rather unremarkable character art, but because Matt decided to both semi-cosplay as his character and to put on eyeliner and the same body glitter that all the female players at the table were wearing for this festive occasion. Even Taliesin was only wearing eyeliner to help visually reflect his "disaffected teenage goth" character, so the fact that Matt went out of his way to put on makeup that clashes with his character's fashion style and characterization can be interpreted as a subtle suggestion that his character is biologically the same as the female or genderqueer Christmas elves played by the ladies, underneath his tough and grizzled hyper-masculine presentation. (...Though more likely, Matt just wanted to look pretty for the day and/or wanted to help normalize gender-nonconformity for cisgender men. This is hardly the only time he has worn somewhat feminine makeup or gender-bending cosplay during a special episode of Critical Role)

Many of the Len characters in the series are interpreted as trans boys, mostly due to the same Half-Identical Twins issue mentioned above. Michaela is often read as a trans woman after the reveal that in a previous life, she was Lich's brother who got Michaela as a nickname when Held misread her name off the class registry; despite this, she's known exclusively as Michaela outside of references to the past. Like other people who reincarnated into forest spirits (who have No Biological Sex) her memories of her old life were blocked off, and when Elluka transforms her into a human woman she seems fully comfortable as such (if a bit confused by Elluka's insistence she has to be a woman) and uses this form even centuries later. She's the only known character whose gender changes over multiple reincarnations, not counting forest spirits, and even then Lich, Eater, and Gumillia all retained their previous gender identities after leaving the forest and getting human/humanoid bodies.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_d7aab7c1	comment	In the last season of Sailor Moonnote (the season that wasn't translated into English until the 2010s, but which was released in some European countries in the 1990s), the alien Sailor Starlights change their physical bodies to go undercover on Earth as teenage boys, though they revert to their original female shape whenever they get into combat. Ostensibly, they're doing this just because they're looking for their princess and starting a career as male popstars will let them get their message out to as many girls as possible. But at least Seiya Kou / Sailor Star Fighter really seems very comfortable if not outright flourishing in "her" male form and undercover identity (and "she's" clearly relishing the freedom this gives "her" to flirt with the female protagonist), so this character, if not all three Starlights, is frequently interpreted as trans-masculine or genderfluid by queer fans. (In the manga, these characters were always cis-female and didn't shapechange.) Also, the sympathetic and eventually redeemed villain character Fisheye from an earlier season was originally meant to be just a gay Wholesome Crossdresser who nevertheless still uses male pronouns and doesn't identify as female or genderqueer. But the way this villain's seduction of male victims was censored in some countries in the 1990s - i.e. by giving Fisheye a female dubbing voice and refering to him with female pronouns, while also keeping the brief shirtless scene where the character was supposed to reveal that he's male after infiltrating a dance company as a ballerina - led to many European fans going through life convinced that Fisheye was supposed to be a trans woman.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_df910951	comment	Ovid's The Metamorphoses features a figure named Iphis, who was born a girl but Raised as the Opposite Gender due to her father wanting a boy. Thing is, Iphis doesn't seem to mind up until she gets betrothed to a woman named Ianthe and worries that she'll reject her upon discovering her birth sex. The issue ends up resolved when she's fully and implicitly permanently transformed into a man by the gods and then he and Ianthe live Happily Ever After. While Ovid was more or less writing this as a tract about how "wrong" lesbianism is, it's not hard for modern audiences to reinterpret the story as a trans Coming-Out Story, especially since Iphis' worries that his lover will reject him if she discovers his assigned sex at birth is a common concern for real-life transgender individuals and in the end, Iphis only finds happiness when he becomes a man for real with the help of a goddess.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_eb9cafb2	comment	While they existed in the fanbase of the film and original comics, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off has popularised trans headcanons of Scott as an "egg", who's yet to realise they're trans, thanks to it portraying him more as One of the Girls, and his attraction to Ramona Flowers (herself the subject of a lot of transfemme headcanons, thanks to her dyed hair and fashion sense being interpreted as queer) resonating with transgender lesbians' experiences. This is also helped by the live action movie having a LGBT Fanbase, including trans women who identified with that iteration of the character before coming out.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_ee8b478c	comment	FantaghirÃ²: Heroine Princess FantaghirÃ² is occasionally interpreted as genderfluid by some of the now-adult fans who grew up on her movies. This is because she's very much a Tomboy Princess in spirit and the movies feature her dressing up as a boy for most of their running time (complete with breast-binding scene and cutting off her long hair), though she always reverts back to a feminine presentation in a pretty dress at the end of each story. In the first film, there is a classic Sweet Polly Oliver reason for her crossdressing - but then she keeps doing it when going off to rescue her husband in the later films, seemingly just for the convenience and practicality of the male outfit while adventuring in rough terrain. (The pageboy haircut was also not exactly unusual for young girls at the time when these films were made.) The first film also features a magical mentor character (played by a cis-female actress) who visits the heroine in the form of a bearded White Knight in armor and as a beautiful White Witch in a billowy dress.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_ef3b6e43	comment	In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven, there's some unused interactions between Tequila Joseph and other characters that make it very easy to interpret him as a closeted trans woman. Namely, Stroheim straight up offering to make Joseph a woman (with superior German technology), and Lisa Lisa saying she accepts him for who he is. Joseph then wonders why he feels conflicted about his new look receiving a positive reaction. Unused outro dialogue also has Lisa Lisa asking why he doesn't just dress that way all the time. And that's not even going into dialogue in the game proper, in which Joseph says he 'might get addicted to [crossdressing]', states that he's 'dead serious' about it, and claims (as Old Joseph) he has to keep his 'disguise' a secret from his family...

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_ef4fd083	comment	The Toaster in The Brave Little Toaster is seen by several fans as something of a trans character, due to the fact that the toaster has no identifiable gender outside of a single use of "he" (only for the director and actress to refer to the Toaster as female in outside interviews).

Seven Seas Entertainment's initial English translation (before changing it to be more in line with original authorial intent) additionally outright wrote Hiura as transgender.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_f5f392b1	comment	George (short for Georgina) from The Famous Five has gotten this speculation over the years as she seems to have traits that go above and beyond what you would normally expect from a tomboy. She even outright declares that she wishes she weren't born a girl at one point, although that was arguably more to do with the Stay in the Kitchen mentality of the time than anything else.

Trans Audience Interpretation / int_f9025486	comment	Anybodys in West Side Story (and in the 1961 film, where she's played by Susan Oakes) is a tomboy aspiring member of the Jets who has short hair and is delighted when Ice refers to her as "buddy boy" like he would any other male member of the Jets. This has led people to speculate on her being actually trans masc, and West Side Story (2021) makes Anybodys explicitly trans, with him played by nonbinary actor Iris Menas.

Many fans see Pleakley as trans because of this. It goes further in the TV series where Pleakley actively attempts to flirt with human men while dressed up and even succeeds in one episode in charming a guy who, it turns out, is genuinely interested in Pleakley and not under the effects of Hunkahunka's love-inducing peck as initially assumed.

The end of the movie also has a gag where the juice stains on his lips resemble lipstick.
