Forums - Nintendo - Is birdo male or female?

Are you guys serious? Ive always thought of Birdo as a female. Red bow = female. Eyelashes = female. Purple eyeliner = Female! Not to mention a big fucking diamond ring!

I'm... not sure.
I guess female or a REEEEEALY gay or metro man.



Birdo is a transvestite lol. The SMB2 manual said "Birdo is a guy but wishes his name was birdetta"

 My thoughts exactly.



Wasn't Birdo's gender retconned?

Birdo is.....odd.

And Alasted, how r u currently playing Sadness?



Both.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I think originally birdo was male, i.e. in SMB2 birdo was pink but had no bow or rings or pretty eyes. However, as time went on birdo's got mistaken internally as a girl, due to being pink, and someone at Nintendo drew birdo more girly and basically is the first game character to receive a sex change.

 Well even in SMB2 the instruction booklet describes him as "A guy that thinks he's a girl" that shoots the eggs out of his mouth to prove it.


Yep.  Kasz got it.



Female.

The gender confusion was something invented by NoA in the SMB2 manual for...actually I don't know why they made that up. I guess someone there has a weird sense of humor.

EDIT: I remember now, it had something to do with Nintendo being afraid of the backlash involved in beating a girl up (you do slap the bitch in the face with her own eggs) so they had that freaky stint in the SMB2 manual that made it out like birdowas a guy pretending to be a girl. I guess they were more afraid of the repercussions of female violence than trannies.
