Is Gwen Stacy Trans in the New ‘Spider-Man’ Movie by Sony?
Is Gwen Stacy Transgender? Fans Speculate After “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” Trailer
Excitement is building for the upcoming release of “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” and fans are already speculating about one character in particular. Some viewers believe that Gwen Stacy, also known as Spider-Woman, is transgender.
In the trailer, the color palette used in several of Stacy’s scenes appears to be inspired by the pastel blue, pink, and white colors of the transgender Pride flag. Additionally, there is a “Protect Trans Kids” sign on the wall of her bedroom. In another scene, Stacy reveals her secret identity to her father, who is a police officer wearing a “trans Pride flag badge” pinned to his uniform. Many viewers interpreted this as a metaphor for coming out.

While some fans are convinced that Stacy is transgender, others have pushed back against the idea, arguing that wearing the colors of the “trans community” doesn’t automatically make someone transgender. However, many fans have pointed out that the representation of transgender characters in mainstream media is still limited, and if someone feels represented by Gwen Stacy, who are we to tell them they’re wrong?
