Let’s Talk: Pidge’s Gender
Now before I say anything, this post is about how Pidge is female. I am in no way trying to offend anyone here, but it is a fact that she identifies as such. I am simply explaining the scenes that confuse people into thinking otherwise. Some of it is theory based while others are common sense.
For example, Pidge directly states that she cannot literally “man up” because she is a girl (Season 1, Episode 6).
This should be enough evidence as is. However, the fandom seems to push it aside sometimes, and this is mostly seen with the bathroom scene (Season 2, Episode 7).
First, I would like to state the obvious.
Colors do not belong to males or females. Also, those symbols were likely never seen on Earth or in the Garrison, considering this is an alien-run Space Mall. Even more obvious, how could you tell the gender of the alien moving past Pidge just by looking at them? This seemed to be Pidge’s exact thought before she said she would just hold it.
I would also like to point out the fact that this show is set in the future. Most likely, LGBT laws and rights are not much of a problem in this universe, especially if this is ten thousand years from now. There may not be any bathroom indications in this future, such as common color or words that direct each gender to the bathroom. This is a speculation, but it could very much be true. If this were confirmed or even denied, it would not change the fact that Pidge identifies as female.
All of her family, friends, and teammates use she/her because she asked them to. So please respect her pronouns too! ♥️♥️
