History TransAudienceInterpretation / WesternAnimation

* The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cybersix}}'' is a female superhero, whose civilian identity is a man. The show doesn't explain ''why'' she chose a male SecretIdentity ([[AdaptationExplanationExtrication only the original comics do]]), and she seems comfortable presenting as a man, which led a number of fans to interpret Cybersix as genderfluid or nonbinary instead of female.

** Many people also tend to consider Dot to be a trans girl, mostly due to the fact that she often finishes her brother's greeeting "We're the Warner Brothers" with "...and the Warner Sister" and that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen early in the show's development]], the three Warner Siblings we're initailly all suposed to be male.

* Numbuh Four in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' is the shortest member of the team and is vocal about his dislike for girly things. His parents send him to an all-female boarding school, his father takes him to Take Your Daughter to Work Day despite the job holding a similar event for sons the following week (though he insists it's because he DOESN'T have a daughter), and is mistaken for a girl in "Operation P.L.A.N.E.T.", leading to many fans interpreting him as trans.

** Lars is interpreted as a trans man by a significant chunk of the fanbase due to certain scenes across the show: he hesitates before taking off his shirt in "Lars and the Cool Kids", and in "Island Adventure", he is stranded on a deserted island for a significant period of time but does not grow any facial hair -- a notable contrast from Sadie, who grows leg hair. What most point to however is "The New Lars", where his mother calls him by his full name, Laramie, and immediately corrects herself the way a trans person's parent might after accidentally deadnaming their child.

** Many people view Gene as genderfluid or a trans woman. Not only is he very much InTouchWithHisFeminineSide, there are [[https://imgur.com/r/bobsburgers/e9cWX several moments during the show]] where he explicitly refers to himself as a woman (or others refer to him as such, like Louise calling Gene the Belchers' "good daughter"), he refers to his penis as a "nightmare" in one episode, and when Bob tells Gene that he's not a girl, Gene replies, "Tell that to my vagina!"

* Ched from ''WesternAnimation/{{Centaurworld}}'' is a swole little birdtaur with a deep, gravely voice who often comes across as an abrasive egomaniac and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerk]] because he is so focused on being perceived as a [[TestosteronePoisoning manly man.]] His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN_2M3sgoV4 backstory song]] (about admiring the huge, burly Horsetaurs as a little boy and wanting to participate in their sport - which involves [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar jousting]] [[PhallicWeapon lances,]] come on...) is so easy to interpret as a [[RainbowLens trans metaphor]] that this was likely intentional. And at the very end of the series, Ched ''lays an egg'' as an unexplained throw-away gag. But his transgender identity was never confirmed by WordOfGod, so it's left up to the audience to read that into the character.

* Mandark from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' is a popular trans boy headcanon due to the events of "A Boy Named Sue," revealing that he was named Susan and raised in a very feminine manner by his hippie parents. While the context is that his parents were forcing him to accept gender nonconformity, his visceral negative reaction to appearing feminine and insistence that his parents refer to him as "Mandark" rather than "Susan" makes it easy to read the episode as a trans story. However, on the other side of the coin, RaisedAsTheOppositeGender is a {{Fanon}} theory that is also possible.

* Alucard in the adult animated series ''WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017'' gets interpreted as transgender by some fans, due to his extreme LongHairedPrettyBoy looks (and the even more feminine character design he had in a brief flashback to when he was a child), due to having a large symbolic scar on his chest (though not in the place where it would be due to gender-affirmation surgery), due to readily bottoming during a sex scene with a younger-looking male partner whom he had been mentoring, and because a GroinAttack on him during a fight scene just results in a total NoSell reaction. It also helps that his parents were advanced 'scientists' and medical professionals who believably could have provided him with some sort of alchemical hormone treatment during puberty, even in the show's medieval setting. And his father (Dracula) loved his son dearly and also treated an AmbiguouslyGay male subordinate [[PoliticallyCorrectVillain as a respected friend]], which implies that he likely wouldn't have objected to helping his son transition, despite their later [[UnstoppableRage ethics-based]] [[KillAllHumans differences.]]

* While the adult animated series ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'' has [[CastFullOfGay some characters]] who are nonbinary according to WordOfGod (i.e. the tavern keeper in the first episode and [[spoiler: J'mon Sa Ord, a more important character who should show up in season 3]]), there's also the minor character Bryn[[note]] (the tall, lanky elf with short, teal-colored hair among the Whitestone rebels)[[/note]], who never gets refered to with any pronoun within the show and who didn't exist in the [[WebVideo/CriticalRole webshow]], and so they are simply assumed to be afab nonbinary by the fandom based on their somewhat queer-coded appearance (though this character is also briefly shown walking like a family with a woman and a child in season 2, so they might just as well have been intended to come across as a butch lesbian) and because [[QueerCharacterQueerActor their voice-actor identifies as nonbinary.]]

** Many people began to headcanon [[spoiler:Scrooge [=McDuck=]]] as a trans man after the reveal in the series finale that all three of his clones, including [[spoiler:Webby]], were [[OppositeSexClone female]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': Due to a gag in the [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/552904117534588935/780132351886753882/EncEFxfXEAYlJq3.png comic]] where Wakko claims to be "other" so that the Warners collectively constitute "one of each gender" for a Noah's Ark parody, it's common to headcanon him as nonbinary.

* Pidge from ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' is commonly interpreted by fans as a trans boy, even though the show's creators have repeatedly stated that she identifies as a girl and crossdressed as a boy [[SweetPollyOliver only to be accepted into the military]] (while the Galaxy Garrison does accept female students, she had already been banned from there after trying to infiltrate it as a girl). A few fans went the other way and interpret Pidge as a trans ''girl'' who essentially went back into the closet as part of her disguise. Other fans interpret Pidge as nonbinary because her voice actress, Bex Taylor-Klaus, is nonbinary.

* ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'' has the superhero Voyd (a.k.a. Karen), who many fans interpret as a trans woman because of her more [[MasculineLinesFeminineCurves masculine]] design.

** Lars is interpreted as a trans man by a significant chunk of the fanbase due to certain details in the show. Multiple episodes seemingly show him with small breasts, which a cis man as skinny as Lars shouldn't have. In the episode "Island Adventure", he is stranded on a desert island for a significant period of time but does not grow any facial hair -- a notable contrast from Sadie, who grows leg hair. In "Horror Club", he is shown in a flashback with shoulder-length hair and is anxious about the prospect of anyone seeing the way he looks in a photo. He is significantly distressed by this flashback. In "The New Lars", his mother calls him [[spoiler:Laramie]] (which is a gender-neutral name) and immediately corrects herself the way a trans person's parent might if they accidentally deadnamed their child.
** Before the Gems were established to [[OneGenderRace all be nonbinary women]], it was a common headcanon that Amethyst was genderfluid due to how she enjoyed shapeshifting into men, such as her wrestler persona Purple Puma. It's still a common idea in human AU fics.

And at the very end of the series, Ched ''lays an egg'' as an unexplained throw-away gag. But his transgender identity was never confirmed by WordOfGod, so it's left up to the audience to read that into the character.
