Part 2 of my Gender & Pronouns headcanons!

Disclaimer! These are based on vibes, fanfics and a general sense of 'yeeeeaaa' so don't take nothing too seriously.

Also mostly for an AU of mine anyway

Anyway headcanons below!!!

Clark - Trans ~ FtM + transmasc

Low-key just wanted Lois x Clark t4t. I'm sorry. Not actually sorry but whatever. Originally thought of Yuri t4t Lois x Clark but thought regular t4t would be funnier.

Is on T- idk how but I assume they just gotta like up the dosage to affect him

He/Him

Lois - Trans ~ MtF + Transfemme

Honestly just wanted to make Lois into a doll cuz I feel like that'd be cool. Doesn't get bottom surgery but is on E. Nothing else really changes aside from the fact Clark is pregnant with Jon instead of Lois being pregnant with the kid.

Lois is still the same badass but now she's also trans too.

She/They

Kara - Demigirl

No particular reason other than she feels like she wouldn't feel fully gal-like and I wanted someone to be a Demigirl. Plus I like supers with demi. The sounds make sense in my head

She/It

Some bats + a bat-rogue now ;]

Cass - Cis Woman

Cass is happy as her agab. Doesn't really care much for Gender & there is prolly an identity for that but idk it rn so in the meantime we got Cis Cass

She/Her

Kate - Trans ~ MtF

Don't worry still a lesbian. Has had all the surgeries & is on E. The most passing doll to ever exist. Nobody ever knows unless she tells them. Doesn't do that often

First thought was cis woman but trans Kate was calling to me-

She/Her

Tim - Bigender ~ Man (amab) & Cameragender

I wanted to give him a Gender related to his stalking somehow. Dats it. That's where Cameragender comes from

He/Click/Shutter

Edward - Omniboy

The Riddler gets ALL the Gender!!!! Main Gender still dude but whatever. It opens up way more roads for him and that's what I want

He/She/They/It + doesn't mind most neos

The he,she,they,it are ranked in order of preference

Some discussion on the father-daughter(s) relationship in Batwoman 2026. Long story short, Jacob Kane doesn't understand or sufficiently empathize with either of his daughters, and resorts to misogyny when he fears he's losing control of them.

I think it's interesting that the current Batwoman series is, like other Batwoman series have in very different ways, exploring how little Jacob Kane understands either of his daughters. The incident in issue #2, where Beth in disguise as Kate/Batwoman shoots a group of Religion of Crime cultists who have stabbed and are trying to kill Jacob (after they already attacked Beth and tried to choke her out), and the fallout of this incident in the subsequent issues so far, really show this. I will note up top that Beth shoots one man while he's down, but this is in the heat of a struggle where Jacob has been stabbed (he literally has the knife still in him) and Beth has been jumped by this whole crew and choked. This coven of the Religion of Crime has also had Beth in their custody for some amount of time, possibly since she was first kidnapped as a child, and they make it clear they are going to take her back if she doesn't kill them. As to the morality and culpability of her actions here, I'll just say that I'm a lawyer (not in Greece though, lol), and I'd feel pretty comfortable defending her actions here if she was my client.

Jacob responds to this by:

1. assuming that's Beth is Kate (he later tells Kate "it wouldn't be the first time you'd done something foolish"). In fact, he never figures out on his own that the woman operating as Batwoman for the first several issues is Beth; he has to be told by later Renee Montoya. (Also worth noting that Renee previously identified Kate in the Batwoman suit and mask the first time she sees Kate as Batwoman. There's an obvious intentional contrast where Jacob doesn't know Kate as well as Renee. Which is pretty bleak considering Jacob is Kate's dad and her most consistent working partner as Batwoman, while Renee is her ex girlfriend/long-running situationship, lol).

In addition to the fact that this adds to Kate and Renee's 20 years of will-they-won't-they-wait-Renee-where-are-you-going, since Jacob responds to Beth's actions by trying to employ historical methods of misogynistic familial abuse against Kate and seeking solidarity with Batman as a male authority figure, it's interesting that Renee seeing Beth and Kate for who they are and vindicating Kate shows a kind of female solidarity between the women as well. The men in Kate's life put up a united front against her while Renee stands with her.

2. Condemning Beth's actions as "Kate." His immediate reaction is literally "oh God, oh Kate, what have you done?" Oh, I don't know, man, saved your life maybe?

3. Going to the mental health treatment facility Kate is currently in and trying to have Kate's voluntary inpatient psychiatric care turned into an involuntary hold to trap her in there. Worth noting the gendered dynamic here; his actions recall the long history of male family members involuntarily committing female family members as a misogynistic response to women who couldn't be controlled or didn't behave as the patriarch of the family desired. Jacob asks to to have Kate psychiatrically abused (specifically trapped, restrained, and/or sedated, when clearly no one else in the facility thinks she needs that) in order to keep her under control, as a reaction to her killing men to save his life. He might as well have gone in and complained that he thinks she has female hysteria because she didn't want him to get kidnapped or murdered; he otherwise behaves the same way as if he had. This seems unjustified, even if everything had happened the way Jacob thought it did.

Furthermore, it just reads as very cruel and dehumanizing to his own daughter; he tries to use Kate's desire to seek treatment for her mental health crisis against her. If she was, say, at home in her apartment and not seeking mental healthcare, he couldn't just tell the superintendent to go lock her up, restrain, or drug her.

4. Calling in Batman and asking him to come deal with Kate, claiming "I don't know what to do."

This choice in particular is very interesting to me, because when he views Kate as uncontrollable and therefore dangerous, he turns to Batman as a male authority figure to come lay down the law. We, as the audience, know that Bruce is Kate's family as well, but it's unclear if Jacob knows that (I'd guess he doesn't in this series, given the context and the retcons at work here). He has more solidarity with a mysterious, violent man than with his own daughter. Batman, here, acts as a symbol of male authority, in contrast to the uncontrollable feminine, represented by Beth and Kate in this series. Jacob essentially asks Batman to step in as the acting patriarch to bring Kate back under control. And in the bigger picture, Batman frequently treats female characters with this same level of disrespect, paranoia, and desire for control (Helena Bertinelli, Stephanie Brown, and Barbara Gordon come as an incomplete list). They have class solidarity as men who seek to get the women around them under control and restore what they perceive as order.

Again, fundamentally all of this happens because Beth saves Jacob instead of allowing him to be killed. Could not be more clear that she does this out of love as well, considering that she does it in response to being told to return to the Religion of Crime coven that has held her and "fulfill [her] purpose," to which she responds "I won't, I can't, I'm sorry, Daddy."

This doesn't appear to move Jacob at all, because, as described above, he tries to restrict Kate's freedom and bring in Batman to deal with her in response to this shooting. This is especially hypocritical because Jacob is literally a US Army colonel, and is shown shooting and bombing people in combat in Batwoman Elegy (presumably during Desert Storm?), which is canon in this series. Like, oh, sorry, what was that, Mr. No Kill Rule?

Armed violence is understandable to Jacob when committed by a male American soldier in defense of American imperial interests, but incomprehensible, monstrous, and frightening when committed by his daughter, even in his own defense.

On top of all of that, Jacob not only refuses to apologize to Kate once he realizes he's mistaken Beth in disguise as Kate/Batwoman for Kate herself, but he just straight up insults her instead for literally no reason. If it wasn't obvious he doesn't respect her enough from everything else in this series, this is the cherry on top.

So long story short, Jacob doesn't understand or appropriately empathize with either of his daughters in this series. When he doesn't understand or can't control them, he defaults to patriarchal tactics to try to restore "order." Also, he holds an obvious double standard between state-sanctioned masculine gun violence and female vigilante gun violence, even by his own daughter for his benefit

After all of this, I find it interesting that Renee and Kate ultimately stand in solidarity with Beth, even though Beth holds Kate at gunpoint and stabs Renee.

The women in this series can forgive and empathize with each other in a way that Jacob Kane, as the patriarch of the family, refuses to do.

Batwoman being created so Batman wouldn’t be seen as gay only for her to be a lesbian decades later is crazy

[poisonousivys]

Kate Kane is unbelievably sexy

[bi-dykes]

I finally started season 1 of Batwoman and I am OBSESSED, I’ve read some comics with Kate Kane in them so I already adored her, it’s so great to see her come to life on screen!

I am but a simple bisexual bigender woman who loves my lesbian sisters- my fellow sapphics- and LOVES lesbian shows <3
