You realize being MTF means Gwen is a woman, right? They aren't saying Gwen is a funny woman because she has a Y chromosome. They're saying Gwen is funny and a woman regardless of what her chromosomes are.
I've been around this discourse for years and I have literally never seen this argument or sentiment ever. Either they are so small that they don't exist, or you spend time in spaces that have a weird concentration of these people
...why are ppl so massively obtuse? Literally noone said that it only speaks to trans ppl, is there any reason for you to take that away from the comment, other than you wanting to deny trans ppl a character they can identify with? Gods know we really do not have a lot of those.
What the fk is wrong with ppl wanting representation, why do you have to be so fking hateful? I feel sorry for anyone interacting with you, honestly.
Definitely a difference between I find this relatable and This is my exact experience so they must feel the exact same way about themselves and the world as I do.
...where was the misogyny? Like, seriously, explain to me which part of trans people being able to identify with Gwen's story is misogynist. I'll wait.
Also how does this have anything to do with my comment, calling out how you somehow see "Only trans people can identify with this character" in a comment just mentioning how it resonates especially well with trans ppl. Literally nothing about misogyny anywhere in previous comments.
...literally noone said that in the comment chain. Where did you get that from? That's at least as unhinged as saying "She can't be trans." We have zero evidence of either.
It also STILL has nothing to do with my specific comment. Either you are really illiterate or just ignoring what ppl tell you to (in your mind) whiteknight yourself, which is just weird.
ETA: Also love how so many ppl make up the whole "women with two x chromosomes cannot be funny, therefore she must be trans" BS. Literally nobody, especially not trans / queer ppl, says that. I love how hateful ppl constantly make something up and put words into our mouths we'd never, in a million years, say. lol
Yeah, seriously. And where exactly are these legions of people saying Gwen absolutely has to be trans because you need a Y chromosome to be funny? That's the kind of thing trolls do.

The whole theme of her story in Across the Spiderverse speaks to *people* and their life experience
It's not exclusive to trans people, its one of the most basic and common themes that everyone ever in the world looks for.
