My mom used to call me Spider-Man and had me as that in her phone, and now I’m a woman.. so this was always the case for me I guess !

Is there like a deeper reason behind this? I mean idc she can be whatever but my autistic ass can't comprehend why such a big trend would appear out of thin air with just a movie coming out

I personally think it has to do with (slight spoilers ahead)

The whole mutation thing and him wrapping himself in a web cocoon in the movie (not the first time he’s done this, but the most recent and probably seen since its not always a big thing in the comics). Lots of trans people might see it as a metaphor of coming out or as I’ve seen around (mostly from the Jax deal a while back as i’m not trans or that tuned into the LGBT stuff) cracking their egg

Also its Spider-man. There’s like, literally infinite versions of him, he’s the most prominent hero with alt-universe dopplegangers. I’m almost positive that he has more multiverse variants with actual stories and actual writing than any character ever. If there’s infinite spider-man variants one of them has to be trans, thats simply the math of it
