Ok i know trans Gwen is basically canon but among all the things I see people mention the one that also stuck out to me is that her and Hobie canonically wear the same shoe size. She wears Hobie's converse through most of the movie. I know we all know that technically ALL spider people should be trans but from a "canon" point of view this is clearly another hint.

Spiderverse 2 spoilers, you have been warned.
Tumblr media
Everyone who hasn’t seen the movie yet gone? Okay, good. Now then.
Spider-Gwen is a trans woman. Full stop.
No “um actually” here. Literally the only way the filmmakers could have made this more clear is by outright saying it, and even then, I guarantee SOME of you (*cough*, transphobes, *cough*) would still deny it.
Gwen’s room not only has a trans pride flag over the door exterior side of the door, but a “protect trans kids” poster inside. Her dad’s uniform has a trans pride patch on it. A LOT of her shots have trans pride flags in the background. Not to mention her entire dimension has a pink and blue aesthetic (tho that is pulled from the comics so I’d understand if some people dismissed that last point.)
But EVEN outside of that stuff, a lot of Gwen’s story and personal character arc throughout Across the Spiderverse is an allegory for being trans, which is VERY clear to anyone who has experienced being trans in a conservative family.
Gwen gets “outed” to her dad as Spider-Woman right at the beginning of the film, spends most of it avoiding having a conversation with her dad because she fears being rejected, and when she is finally forced to confront him about it, thankfully, she is accepted. Swap being Spider-Woman out for being trans, and it matches up almost perfectly. Not all trans stories have a happy ending like this, sadly, but it matches up with my personal experience of being trans almost exactly.
If you didn’t notice the signs, you’re not the people I’m calling out with this post. I’m talking about the people blatantly arguing “nuh uh!” for people who are celebrating finally having a transgender woman prominently featured in an animated film. And especially nowadays, those kinds of stories in an all-ages film are all the more invaluable.
Don’t try to take this from people. Actually, scratch that, you can’t. The transphobia stops here and now. Gwen Stacy, at least this version of her, is a transgender icon. We love you Gwen 🏳️‍⚧️.

so i've been reading the Spider-Gwen comics cause I have terminal brain worms now and like. she's been trans coded since before atsv (which i know isn't original to point out but it's fun to see). anyways, here's one of my favorite moments i've come across so far while reading
spoilers for Spider-Gwen [II] #3 (2016)

this conversation Gwen has with Jessica Drew fucks me up so bad. like the way Gwen prefaces her question and describes herself as strange and a weirdo is SOOO. and then she asks about the other Gwen Stacy and what she was like, and it reads like she's asking about what her life would be like if she was cis. and it gets couched in the language of "normal" and not, which is absolutely a trap i fall into sometimes. and then Jess says something that made me cry.
"Look, I get it. I understand dreaming of a simpler life... But, trust me. The hard times, the times when you're unsure, those are just how you figure out who you are. What your life means. Focus on today. Be the best Gwen Stacy that you can be. Right here, right now."
and when you read those words as a statement about gender and transness they hit so much harder. cause in my experience, when i'm unsure i usually find a new part of myself that i didn't know existed. it's never easy and it's almost always a little scary, but i come out the other end more sure of who i want to be and where i'm heading. Gwen needs to stop worrying about what could've been and start thinking about who she is. not other Gwens, but her specifically

Over a decade ago, Donald Glover wore a Spiderman costume.
The black community knew that there was something of value in that, something vital to contribute to the character, seeing themselves.
And a couple years later, Miles Morales was born.
Eventually so was Into the Spiderverse.
And now, today, Gwen Stacy hangs a trans pride flag in her room.
The trans community sees something of value in it, sees a story that needs to be told, a contribution to a character that adds a depth and complexity that wasn't there before. Something to relate to on a personal level.
And personally, I can't wait to see what happens next.

When I say trans Gwen is important to all trans people, not just trans femmes, then I'm talking about how important she is to a teen-age trans boy. A boy, wayy before coming out, who's favorite hero is Spider-Gwen.
I'm talking about that boy becoming an adult, a now transitioned man. He's seeing his fav spider on the big screen for the first time in 'Into the Spiderverse' and he is insanely hyped about it.
I'm talking about that man seeing all these hints about trans Gwen, then watching 'Across the Spiderverse' to have them CONFIRMED. The amount of JOY. The amount of 'OF COURSE SHE was my favorite all this time!'
I'm that man, I'm talking about myself.

continuing my Gwen Stacy transgender analysis arc. spoilers ahead for Spider-Gwen [II] #6 (2016) and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
one of the most impactful, emotional, and exciting parts of atsv was Gwen's relationship to her father. and so i was really happy to see that it's an element pulled directly from her comics. a lot of the best parts of Gwen's story in atsv are pulled directly from her debut in Edge of Spider-Verse #2 (2014). stuff like the opening drum playing with The Mary Janes and the "this mask is my badge" scene are all originally from the comics (but done infinitely better in the movie imo). anyways i bring all this up to say that early on there wasn't much trans coding, but by the time Gwen's father quits being a cop it's cropping up more.
Tumblr media
ok. where to begin. George Stacy is talking to Gwen about her decision to be Spider-Woman and hide it from him, but on the metaphorical level they're talking about being queer. specifically the choice of using "your world" when describing Gwen's work as Spider-Woman stands out. cause from George's perspective, at this point in the story, he and Spider-Woman kind of share the same world (i.e. fighting crime). but the deliberate positioning of them as being from two different worlds creates a distinction between the two. there is something extra, something ephemeral about being Spider-Woman that George does not have access to. and what this scene is really about is him coming to terms with the fact that he can't ever fully understand what it's like to be Spider-Woman, and by extension, be trans.
Tumblr media
and then he relates his own personal experiences to what Gwen is going through. he recognizes that it's difficult to want to talk about it, that it's hard to share all the disturbing and hard stuff. and so he tells his daughter that it's okay because he's gonna support her no matter how much she shares.
Tumblr media
and then the last set of panels. this is what really cinches it for me. it is the ultimate recognition that, while it may not be easy for George to wrap his head around, it is easy for him to support his daughter. he recognizes that being trans is an immutable part of her life, and that it's out of his hands. he chooses being a father over hurting his daughter and that rules.
i love how this series is doing a lot with the fact that, while they may not fully get it, the cis people in our lives can absolutely support us. George Stacy is by no means a perfect person but he cares about his daughter so much and makes an effort. and like, that's the most important thing at the end of the day. effort
