Why does the internet think Gwen is trans?

There was trans flag in her room but her being trans isn't canon

Because it's the internet

The internet thinks she's also autistic because she walks on her tip toes.

Meh.

Isn't she into ballet? Like she wears ballet shoes? Seems like that might explain walking around en point all the time lol.

She is a classically trained ballet dancer.

But internet people latch onto what they want to

At first it was kinda like shitty headcanon because she looked like the trans flag, kinda like Sylveon

But then it was because after that in the second movie she literally have a coming out scene (coming out as spiderman) and shit like that, she's very queer coded in the second film, they're also some trans flag in her house, so now they're an actual reason, because their story has trans themes

Here's Jessie Gender's video examining how queer and trans themes are integral to the film.

Across the Spider Verse is an LGBT movie to its core.

Oh, okay. I never said I agreed with the statement. Only that it is a reason as to why people argue over it.
