#trans dc

first of all, being a superhero/vigilante with a secret identity is inherently queer coded

just full stop

in fact, I’d argue it’s also very trans coded specifically

Like with all the identity issues

and that’s not even considering exactly who were talking about

but to elaborate

there’s a part of you that is integral to who you are.

it’s very important to you

it’s all dangerous

you cannot tell others about this part of you

for fear that it will put both of you in danger

and that you won’t be accepted

that your secret won’t be kept

also, one thing you notice in a LOT of media with secret identities involved

Is that over time, you gravitate towards the people who know. Oftentimes, these people share your secret.

they become more important to you.

and also I have so many trans headcanons—
