#because now i want. like to write something abt her experiencing the spider bite transformation within the lens of her being trans

[vampyearn]

saw a post about how the animators deliberately added masculine undertones to gwen’s character design, and it got me thinking.

we know that after you’ve been bitten your body develops to suit the demands of the bite- usually becoming taller, muscular, senses heightened etc. it would be interesting to see how that transformation adheres to a trans person? would it be affirming, alleviate dysphoria or perhaps even cause distress? the relationship with a super human body in superhero films are usually glossed over (most of the time) and it made me wonder how this experience could impact trans people & their complex connection with their bodies ..esp because you could DEFINITELY read the spiderman plots as trans allegories. becoming spiderman is a concept, the whole message is always “anyone can be spiderman” esp in the spiderverse films.

anyways marvel nerds..help me flesh out this idea because i think it would be a really interesting concept to explore..!!
