Shout out to the “Gwen is trans” (headcanon which would be fine being stated as an aggressive fact which is not ok) people and several of the “Gwen isn’t trans” (fact based but several people are doing it an obnoxious equally stupid way.)
If Gwen is made trans it isn’t out of genuine interest but because your reminding the creators that you are a vehicle for money true representation doesn’t matter when they can just disrespect the character and viewers with lack of creativity to make an actual trans character.
The multiverse has made a sloppy excuse for people to claim a headcanon as fact and act superior when proven incorrect. Good for Gwen having a “Protect trans kids” flag but people really forgot that you can support that without being trans or did you make a new rule. Those colors have been with her sense her initial inception, please sound twist color palettes to fit your own agenda and I mean that for anyone. Her dad does not have a trans pin that’s his police accommodations Gwen’s world just has a unique color set up, this is proven when you see his badge at different angles, you are just so drowned in ACAB rhetoric that the thought of good police is one you shun and intentionally ignore.
How about you design a trans Gwen for yourself without claiming the original one given.The fact that you read Gwen’s story is such is important it’s great. That’s how a character can be relatable without being a 100% you. That’s so good for literacy and your well-being to relate without being exact to another. By trying to solely claim it as a fact for trans and trans only you’re taking it away from others with similar situations but for different reasons.
Please and understand and read this clearly as someone is is tired of headcanons in any fandom being pressed as fact and attacked when the “evidence” is proven incorrect, as someone whose tried amid both sides of the arguing polluting the fandom and inviting several unnecessary fights, as someone whose pro media literacy and pro original created characters.
