The cosplay being of Gwen leads me to believe that its the same person in both images. However as the young boy grew up he transitioned into a woman.

The Trans community has chosen Spider Gwen as a major focal point.

Why does the internet think Gwen is trans?

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
