I love the headcanon of The Man with No Name being a transgender man. So here is me yapping a little about this headcanon.

• We all know queer people always existed the whole time expressing themselves differently depending on the times they lived in. And there is some studies and documents about transgender people at Western times! Especially transgender men aside from it being women who dressed as men to search for better jobs and possibilities. But actually identified as man. (It's been a while since I watched informative videos about this topic so I hope I didn't misinformed it!)

• The man with no name, it's called by that as he left his past behind and buried his dead name, and simply didn't choose another one for a long while, the fact of being nameless contributed to dissociating him to his mysterious past, but being called a nameless MAN was also pretty gender euphoric for him. Usually, when really needed picks up random names to himself, but deep down if he really needed to settle with one, which he won't, it would be Joe, and it is the one he prefers and uses the most besides being nameless.

• His poncho, besides being an iconic part of himself who also added to his mysterious persona and, besides, also being practical to hide guns. Had the plus of helping with hiding his chest, giving him an extra comfort, with his poncho on, he will bind his chest more loosely knowing it will cover his figure and shows the masculinity he wants to have.

• Smoking constantly gave him the benefit of having a deeper voice. (Don't smoke, guys. Don't follow his advice. It was just practical for him at the time, but now we have more technology and knowledge than that.) Even if he was always the quiet type, it was nice to have a rougher and deeper voice.

• That thing around his neck, I don't remember the name of this accessory. It was also great for hiding his lack of a pronounced Adam's apple(?? Pome??), a simple detail that an attentive gunslinger like him would not let slide, even if many people don't focus on such specific things.

• Is interpreted by CLInT Eastwood. Sorry, by the genital focused joke, I just think it's hilarious that his name has one additional letter to the word clit. I'm immature af.

• I have a friend who is a trans guy, and he thinks Cowboys are really cool, especially Clint Eastwood one's, even though he watched none cause he is a poser I still think is really badass when people see cowboys as their gender goals, I can see the view they are cool as fuck.

they didn’t tell me there were so many divas in the westerns
