"It's not historically accurate for anyone in OFMD to be trans men! They all have flat chests and top surgery didn't exist then!!!"

First off, binding techniques have existed since the middle ages and likely before. And some people have small tits that aren't visible.

Secondly, OFMD is an anachronism, one of the main cast is wearing crocs and they're reading Pinocchio 100 years before it was written.

And thirdly, yes it fucking did.

OK, so it's like this:

Jim Jiminez, our lord and savior the canonically nonbinary pirate.

Izzy Hands -> Trans man

Edward Teach? Bigender boy/girl.

Stede Bonnet? Something is happening to that alleged-cisman's gender. No one knows what, especially not Stede.

Spanish Jackie -> Trans woman

is it just me or is there kind of a trans metaphor for Ed in season 2? Ed was so desperate for change. So that he could be himself and feel comfortable and safe for who he is. Then that was threatened. Ed had been so close to freedom and feeling comfortable with himself only to have that taken away by Izzy and the toxic preconceived concepts of what a "man" should and shouldn't be forced on him and to feel safe again forced himself to conform.

Summary:

Jim fidgeted where they stood, looking down at where Oluwande held their hands before meeting Olu’s eyes. “Roach then?” Jim raised one of their eyebrows. “Roach.” Olu shrugged. Jim's face softened, a grin playing at one corner of their mouth. “Guess it’d only be, like, the fifth most dangerous thing I’ve done this year.”

Also I need to just freak out about my favorite OFMD headcanon for a sec: Trans man Edward “Blackbeard” Teach!!

Just the idea that the most powerful, feared and admired man on the seven (7) seas is a trans man fills my heart with electric joy.

I also like viewing his character from the aspect of trying to hypermasculinize himself (especially as Blackbeard) for the sake of passing and because of societal expectations for men to be masculine at all times, even if that isn’t who they are.

What I love even more about that is him meeting Stede and learning that you can still be a man and

Be emotional

Like things society deems to be “feminine” (fashion, fine clothes, etc.)

It’s something that Ed needed to hear, especially after years of having Izzy by his side, spewing toxic masculinity and unhealthy coping mechanisms whenever Ed had a problem.

Anyway, trans Ed Teach has taken over my brain
