thanks to an official tweet by the popeye twitter that states that popeye is “amphibious” and “likes to wear men’s and women’s clothing” posted on nonbinary day, i personally like to imagine he’s either bigender or androgyne! i’m leaning towards him being androgyne, with him defining his androgyneity as a mix between man and woman, and using it interchangeably with bigender!
[image description: three images of the cartoon character popeye the sailor man, a white, bald masculine person with no hair, a yellow-gold pipe, a white cap, a black sailor shirt with a red and black collar and blue sleeves with yellow-gold buttons, a yellow belt with a silver buckle, blue jeans, and brown shoes. in the first and fourth image, he is standing on a rock with a brave, triumphant expression while eating spinach out of a can. the can of spinach says “spinach” on it. behind him in the first image is the androgyne flag, which is a three vertical striped flag with pink on the right, purple in the middle, and blue on the left; behind him in the fourth image is the bigender flag, which is a five striped flag with pink on top, yellow first from top, white in the middle, purple fourth from top, and blue on the bottom. in the second and fifth image, popeye is standing with a slightly angry expression with his arms crossed, showing off a tattoo of an anchor. behind him in the second image is the androgyne flag, which is a three vertical striped flag with pink on the right, purple in the middle, and blue on the left; behind him in the fifth image is the bigender flag, which is a five striped flag with pink on top, yellow first from top, white in the middle, purple fourth from top, and blue on the bottom. in the third and sixth images, popeye is smiling with his mouth open and his teeth showing in the picture, with red letters spelling out “popeye”. he is giving a thumbs up. behind him in the third image is the androgyne flag, which is a three vertical striped flag with pink on the right, purple in the middle, and blue on the left; behind him in the sixth image is the bigender flag, which is a five striped flag with pink on top, yellow first from top, white in the middle, purple fourth from top, and blue on the bottom. end image description]
