will stimming and flapping his hands rocking the bed violently: AND THEN IN STARWARS THIS HAPPENS-

1: only the first paragraph is really trying to explain why or how percy is coded as transfem. the 2nd one is mainly talking like the reader is already subscribed to the headcanon and less like how transfemme percy is being hinted 2: the "she's a manslayer" is also on shaky legs because yes, they're cute but if this is to be saying she's a "man slayer", then it must come with the fact that she has a innate distrust or at the very least dislikes men quickly/more easily than other characters.

yes, three of her worse relationships are with men but that doesn't goes to show that she now dislikes/distrusts all men is wrong. see frank, jason hell even poseidon is more on neutral grounds rather than complete hatred due to distrust. and if the narrative wanted to say she hated men, they would've showed it. (they did it with percy's ptsd of gabe with her disliking alcohol and even the smell of anything relating to smoking, alcohol and gabe)

they even did a whole plotline with her and zoë that "all men aren't bad!" and percy being the leader of it. (although if you wish to disregard that i can't blame ya, it's a real stereotype on feminism coming from 2000s norms)

3: you did not provide any actual proof that she is coded. it is just talking about how "oh this can be a transgirl experience" etc etc without actually explaining why. again, explaining these things to people who actually believe in the theory. not people who want to subscribe to it.

this is not to say the headcanon is stupid or anything, it's just the explanation you gave is a bit bad/sloppy is all.

1.Not sure what you mean?It pretty explicitly discusses canon Percy without any headcanons injected in other than the transfem egg one

2.Respectfully,that's not what 'man slayer' means in Percy's case and i didn't say or imply that anywhere on my awnser.She is shown to innately dislike and mistrust men,not on a personal level but as a social class and also to consider women inherently better than them while still humanizing them.Frank and Jason and her other male loved ones proved themselves as not conforming to toxic masculinity and patriarchal norms/ideals so they were granted her companionship through it as Percy herself did and was in Titan's Curse with Zoe and the other Hunters and Artemis

2: if i am remembering correctly, the only times we really see her quickly distrust men is when they're associated with bad memories of someone. for example Mr. D, she despised that man because of his personality and his alcoholism which reminded her of Gabe, never of his masculinity which could've been brought up or implied but never really is.

1: what i mean of it being described as if the reader is already subjected to the theory of Percy being transfem is "the books also wrote it as coming from her not doing manhood 'correctly and expectedly' while also dropping countless implications she's a woman who only presents as male on accident and wrote her like the former on purpose AND light it as positive and as her fighting back and winning against her abuse"
