Toad, Toadette, and Gender

[Kosheh]

So as someone who is Trans let me throw in my two cents

I really don't care.

I do not care what genders your characters may or may not be and to be honest it really doesn't matter unless it has to do with the storyline of whatever thing said character is in.

Sure if you wanna add a thing in the manual saying "this person is trans" or use only gender neutral pronouns with them in game or something, then that a cool piece of trivia, but it really doesn't matter. Anything that develops a character and develops them strongly and correctly I really like that, and honestly that shit doesn't have to be gender related at all.

This. This a lot.

Like, if a character is TG and transitioning, that's cool I guess and makes an interesting character for players to identify with - but I'm not really sure if that really affects the gameplay or the player outcome at all. From a good design point, it'd at most change the narrative.

Personally, I just think all of them are asexual things that just talk like guys but act like girls.

In my inner DeviantArt tween fanfiction headcanon I like to believe that when Toad people get married and live in their mushroom houses for awhile, they develop allergic reactions to one another (like cooties) during the spring and begin to sneeze profusely. All this sneezing releasing spores into the air of their mushroom house. The spores then impregnate the roof of their homes, which then weeks later babies begin to fall from the ceiling (but only a few survive the fetal process so you don't have Toad overcrowding in the Mushroom Kingdom).

My headcanon is the best because it suits non-traditional marriages and nonbinary couples too ;3c

Spoiler

Also Bowser's part mushroom so like he sneezes and it releases lizard spores and that's how the Koopa kids were born. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST
