Conversation

Bart: Anyway, goodnight y'all, man's got to be up early. By the way, I use man as a term for everyone, I'm not misgendering myself.

Tim: Man is gender-neutral except when you decide otherwise.

Gar: Like the way Shaggy from Scooby Doo says it.

Bart: Exactly!

Tim: Shaggy is an entire gender in himself.

I was talking about this with a friend the other day, but I've decided to incorporate it into my view of canon.

If a character is queer in one canon, to me, they are in every version.

Leonard Snart is queer in Arrowverse? Congratulations, he is in the comics too now. Dick Grayson is bi in the Gotham Knights franchise? He is everywhere else now. Kal and Lex are gay on Earth 32? Beetle and Booster are in TTG? Bart Allen is on YJ? Guess what! They are everywhere now.

I got a bee in my bonnet and spent last night crunching these numbers to confirm a long-held suspicion of mine, and now I'm going to do something with them even if it's only interesting to me. So.

I went through and tallied up all of the fics AO3 currently (as of 3/27/24) has under the tags "Trans Tim Drake," "Nonbinary Tim Drake," "Genderfluid Tim Drake" and "Genderqueer Tim Drake," since I figured that cast a wide enough net without committing myself to reading every fic vaguely tagged Trans Character to figure out which character they were talking about.

I then did the same for Dick, Jason, Damian and Bruce and, after comparing those numbers against each other and against the total number of fics each character has under their general tag, followed up with Duke, Babs, Cass, Steph and Kate, and then Kon, Cassie, and Bart for good measure.

The results confirm the suspicions I was going into check and are really interesting, to me at least:

Despite having far fewer stories overall than Jason, Bruce or Dick, Tim has by far the most stories tagging him under the trans umbrella (653 out of 58,395) and is the only member of the Bats for whom at least one full percent of his stories fall under that category (1.12% to be exact.) He actually has more total trans stories than Jason and Damian combined (308 out of 71,120 and 255 out of 42,607, equaling 0.43% and 0.59%, respectively) and outstretches the 2nd place ranker, Dick, by over a hundred (who clocks in at 438 out of 79,057 -- 0.55%). Bruce amusingly has by far the most stories overall (90,305) but the fewest trans stories (185) for the lowest percentage among the boys (0.2%).

The only one who comes anywhere close to matching Tim percentage-wise is Bart, who has far fewer stories to his name but a ratio of 62 out of 5,717 for 1.08%. I was thinking maybe Young Justice might have a higher percentage than the Bats due to their strong queer fandom but that only really proved true for Bart, with both Cassie and Kon coming in at only 0.2% and 0.28% trans umbrella percentage respectively (actual count 6 out of 2,874 and 39 out of 13,746).

Cassie's numbers correspond with the fact that women just, do not get a lot of these stories, at all, even compared to the general lack of attention they're paid by fanfiction spheres in general. Steph and Kate both clocked in at falling 0.17% under the trans umbrella (29 out of 16,638 for Steph, 5 out of 2,897 for Kate); Cass got 0.13% (21 out of 15,769) and Babs only 0.07%, the lowest percentage out of anyone I calculated for (11 out of 15,785). Duke's showing was a respectable 0.55% (34 out of 6,166) which puts him about even with the rest of the boys.

All of which I just went through to confirm a gut instinct I've had for a while: even in light of the noticeable trend in fandom towards increased visibility for trans and other queer-gendered people over the last decade and a half or so, it's a notable Thing for the DC comics fandom to explore with Tim Drake in specific.

And that doesn't even take into account things like the over 200 "Tim Drake is Catlad | Stray" fics, which almost always have some element of queered gender or at least femme'd sexuality to them, far outstripping any of the other Robin boys' spins in that AU (those counts stand at, respectively: Damian - 11, Dick - 33, Jason - 79, Tim - 242). Or the 11 fics logged under the "Tim Drake is Batgirl" tag, a category that doesn't even exist for any of the other male Robins.

(What makes that last one extra hilarious to me that most people don't know one canonical version of Tim has been a member of the Batgirls.) Part of me wants to use that parenthetic detail as a segway to ramble about the various canon snippets I think probably contributed to this, from Tim being presented as "the pretty one" who most often gets the "looks like his mother" comments to the fact that he is the only male Robin who's ever cross-dressed for an undercover mission and even though it only happened once the Internet will never forget Caroline Hill.

But this post is long enough as it is and I don't really have a point beyond I think this is interesting and cool so I'm going to leave off here for now and put my numbers under a cut so people have the raw data to look at if they'd like to.

TL;DR - Based on the numbers, the internet believes Tim Drake is more likely to be trans than any other member of the Bat-family or Young Justice, and I think that has interesting implications about his character and fandom. It's neat.

When it comes to the glorious Tim Drake (my biggest hyperfixation), i either ship him with all of his friends(preferably all at once) or with no one

The middle ground for this would be my Aroace Tim that is in a huge queer platonic relationship with the whole yj team

Hes so aroace to me guys ( im not projecting at all hahaha no sir)

#tim drake #red robin #batfam #dc comics #yj98 #yj #young justice #aroace tim drake because i say so #queer platonic relationship #queer platonic attraction #kon el kent #bart allen #cassie sandsmark #cissie king jones #anita fite #greta hayes

I see your “Bart Allen is straight” and I raise you a “Bart Allen is aroace, dating no one”

I see your “Bart Allen is aroace, dating no one” and I raise you a “Bart Allen is gay aroace spec but forgot to tell everyone about his boyfriend (Preston) back home”

I see your “Bart Allen is aroace spec but forgot to tell everyone about his boyfriend (Preston) back home” and I counter with a “Bart Allen is gay aroace and dating Kon”

I see your “boyfriend (Preston)” and “dating Kon” and I raise you both a “Bart Allen doesn’t really know romantic and platonic differences. He has no idea if he is dating multiple guys or if he is just friends with all them. It’s never even crossed his mind to ask. He just loves the cuddles.”

I see all your cards and put down a “Bart Allen doesn’t have to be aroace. People need to stop seeing autistics/adhd-ers as innocent/pure, unloveable, and only good as a friend. (But yes, he is gay)” for consideration.

#we’ve gone full circle #(basically)#but it was for a reason #konbart #bartkon #Bart Allen and Preston #prestonbart #bartpreston #bart allen #preston lindsay #conner kent #kon el #I do believe in either polyamorous in a romantic sense Bart tho #or a has a shit ton of cuddly QPRs Bart #queer #aroace #gay

K, you know what? I'm gonna say it. I think this new Julian character should date Bart. I don't typically have preferences when it comes to shipping (and tbh if Bart got another love interest I'd be for it too) but I think DC should confirm Bart as Queer and that's sure as fuck not happening without a love interest (unless they pull a Hawke which I would love but unfortunately life isn't that nice to me)

DC isn't gonna fuck with other 'families' so they'd either keep the love interest in house or make up a new person but uhhhhh Jules is honorary Flash fam and a Force user. And a Central resident. Dude does rodeo shows. Jules is a country boy. Bart is a country boy.

I just, I don't know, I think it'd work!

Also I don't want Julian to have the same fate as Jess and Hartley and literally only get featured during pride month. Setting up a mini series or something would be good for the character I think. I really like Jules and I want him to stick around and be in stuff.
