charlie scully fascinates me. an entire younger brother of one of the main characters of the show, and we just never see him. he Maybe shows up as like, a background extra in beyond the sea, depending on who you ask. but he's not a character, not really. in early season 4, scully mentions babysitting her nephew, but since matthew wasn't born yet at this point in the show, you have to assume she was either talking about her godson from season 1, or that charlie has at least one (1) child and scully and charlie are close enough that scully's willing to babysit for him. and then later that same season, the cancer arc rolls around and iirc they don't even Mention charlie. there was an unproduced spec script where charlie Does show up, and he and scully are clearly close in it. and then that spec script got reworked into the first final destination movie. i have seen just as many takes on charlie in fics where he is gay as i've seen takes where he is straight-married with children. in season 10, when maggie scully is on her deathbed she asks to see charlie and you think "oh hell yes, here we go, we're finally gonna see charlie in the flesh!". and then he only shows up as a voice over the phone who says like, two sentences maximum. also he's been estranged from the family for years. womp womp.

Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.
