This is my favorite part:

how dare people ask for proof of their ludicrous claims?



She's also a bounty hunter, you know.

"It’s true! In 1994, the writers of the official Japanese Super Metroid strategy guide asked Metroid’s developers if they could share any secrets about the intergalactic bounty hunter. Hirofumi Matsuoka, who helped work on the original design for Samus Aran, claimed that she “wasn’t a woman,” but instead, “ニューハーフ,” or “newhalf.”

So, where can you read this interview?

look 4 posts above

Nice, thank you. I actually wanted the whole interview :-p 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

She is owned and created by Nintendo, she is not transgender.

I doubt she is.



"This is where we get into the uglier world of cisnormativity and transgender erasure."

Ha.

Haha.



But seriously, this piece is ridiculous...if you want to make absurd fan theories, go for it, but when you using your bizarre, poorly reasoned logic to throw these attacks at Nintendo and Gamers, you have officially lost your mind (although I suspect the whole loss of a mind happened quite a long time ago for this one).



I'm gonna go with no. There are many more quotes calling her a born woman. One referring to her as trans doesn't just void those "just because."



Doesnt Other M and Fusion disprove this entirely?



Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!!!!
