Everything turns to callous eventually, that’s life…
Is he a trans man?
disclaimer: this is a hc, not speculating on what the writers intentions were.
Mr. Sir (Holes 2003)
Yes, they are a trans man
No, but they're not cis
Sure, why not
I like this headcanon, but I also like seeing them depicted as cis.
No, I view them as cis
I don't know this character but they have trans vibes
I don't know this character
reason: His birth name is Marion, something he states explicitly is not a mans name and something he is clearly ashamed of. A deadname perhaps? (Also very sorry for deadnaming Mr Sir like this)

My Little Alphie: Justice is Pretty
...and no, Isole, Monsieur Sir is not going to give you an extension. Just hand it in as is. It's fine.
(this is your same Warden anon from before, hello!) Love ALL those thoughts. I agree that she probably didn't do too much prison time - there's so much in the thematic exploration of justice and I think it would've unfortunately been true to life for something extremely messed up like that to happen. I saw a recent interview from the 20th anniversary where apparently, both Louis Sachar and Sigourney Weaver didn't want the evil trio arrested, whereas Andy Davis and Jon Voight did.
THANK YOU for reminding me of the existence of the Survival Guide! Man, I scoured that thing during my first Holes hyperfixation approximately uhhhh 13 years ago lol. Such a delightful quick read between the OG book and Small Steps.
Just about died laughing at the thought of the Warden essentially becoming Miss Hannigan - talk about another formative milf lmao. And while I do agree very much with your thoughts on her possible queerness, I'm too on board with Jon Voight's very obvious playing Mr. Sir as hopelessly in love with Lou to commit to it haha. I'd love to know how Sachar intended their relationship. In my head, they're That Pair of Exes who can't stand each other and also maybe had great sex when they were 20, and mayyyyyybe they just kept running into each other over the years and weren't entirely mad about it, and mayyyyyyyyyyybe if they are both somehow out of prison in the future and he lost the beer gut, lou would *consider* it. no promises tho.
maybe one of these days i'll come off anon lmao but for now, enjoy my stupid brain musings!!
Can definitely see Mr. Sir and Miss. Walker having a former fling, but I find the Warden to be too toxic for Mr. Sir.
They bring out the worst in each other.
And it is my personal headcannon that Mr. Sir is a trans man. And some old school transmen don't completely seperate themselves from their past lives as lesbians (not to say that all trans men start as lesbians, but a decent amount do). And so wouldn't mind dating lesbian women.
The too may have met decades before the events of Holes. Before the camp even started. Imagine Mr. Sir as a he/him butch lesbian motorcyclist passing through the desert. Finding an oasis in a younger less jaded Miss. Walker. She was there for his entire transition.
They stayed in each other's lives even after their romance went sour.
Only for Mr. Sir to get thrown in a woman's prison cause he didn't believe in giving the government that much information and so never looked into updating his paperwork.
I like to think he gets the support he needs there from an arts program. Something music or theater related to put the man's dramatics to good use.

[ID: the "change my mind" meme, showing a white man sitting behind a sign that white with the last line being "change my mind", but it's edited.
It now shows a screenshot from the movie "Holes" (2003) with a nervous Mr. Sir (Jon Voight), the subtitles reading "Marion. I didn't know that was a man's name." "It ain't". The text edited onto the meme reads: "Mr. 'Marion' Sir from" Holes" (2003) was a trans man. You can't change my mind. /end ID].
diversity win! the secondary antagonist of this story can maybe be interpreted as trans kind of if you squint hard enough
[ID: several transparent screenshots of Mr. Sir (Jon Voight) from the movie "Holes" (2003) in front of the trans flag*. He's an older white man with red-brown hair and prominent sideburns and a thin mustache, wearing a white shirt and, on most of the pictures, a cowboy straw hat with a gemstone in the middle of the hat band. Some of them are captioned "This isn't a girl scouts camp." and others are captioned "My name is Mr. Sir." The last picture is the trans flag* without a face on it. /end ID].
*it's the trans flag but its colors are picked from various screenshots of Mr. Sir from the movie "Holes".
