Birdo is a legendary trans icon.

Actually last week I was at a trans support group and somehow the subject of Nintendo games came up (I think it was somebody mentioning that I look like Samus Aran) and we started talking about how lit a Nintendo-themed drag event would be. And one of my friends (who is FTM transgender as well as a professional drag artist) started talking about Birdo and how the manual says she should be called Birdetta and that when we call her Birdo we're actually deadnaming her, and holy hell it was literally the most Princess Sevenleaf thing I had ever heard someone say in real life.

this ^^

It's filled to the brim with Mario characters but still people be all like "uuuugh not a real Mario game" wtf?

What are your thoughts on Birdo?

I honestly think she's a very uninspired villain. She's basically just Yoshi as a tranny.

Inspired by the Poison thread from a few days ago: So what's the story on Birdo's gender?

Princess Sevenleaf, I'm hoping you can sit this one out. I know you'll probably have some strong opinions, but I doubt they're unbiased, and I just want the straight dope here.

*spits eggs at you*

Was this the first-ever trans character in a video game?
