#and even if there was young girl Samus in the manga it wouldn’t mean she can’t be transgender

A couple years ago I made a tweet about how Samus was transgender and it blew up for some fucking reason. Anyway, as with all big tweets involving trans people, a bunch of people came in with reasons why Samus couldn’t possibly be transgender, none of them really made sense, but the only one I couldn’t outright refute was that we see her as a young girl in the manga apparently.

Anyway, so I’m playing through Metroid Zero Mission and I just finished the zero suit Samus section, which ends with a flashback to when child Samus lives with the Chozo. Right there in the official game I was being shown what young Samus looked like. Do you want to see the “Samus as a young girl that is irrefutable proof she cannot possibly be transgender”?

#I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves lol #Samus aran #Samus is so fucking transgender. I love her so much #and even if there was young girl Samus in the manga it wouldn’t mean she can’t be transgender #Samus Aran may have accidentally been trans coded which was further cemented by a dev calling her a transphobic slur #but she’s ours now and they can’t take her away #also she literally collects giant tanks with the letter E on them lmao #also also her dna has been spliced with 2 different alien dnas. that’s not inherently trans but I feel it’s worth mentioning
