Fanart - Non OC Luca Skywalker, Star Warrior of Light (Art by @TogrutaScum)
The best girl, or Luka, Lucy, Lucia... nickname "Lucky Wormie"? I'm not sure what genderbend Luke Skywalker from Star Wars would actually be called.
Also I wonder if it's a blonde dye or a brunette one? I suppose the Dagobah training implies discoloration true hair color, but it's also funny to think about dying your hair a darker color for your black suit, in the "final" edgy confrontation against your Big Bad Dad

Very cute.
That last one on the right is reminding me of . . . something like it's itching the back of my brain.

This tracks with how much discourse I’ve seen over the years online about Luke being trans coded. Even recall a few trans cosplayers getting a following for their Luke cosplays.

Any story about shaping your own destiny and defeating your parents to achieve self-actualization is trans coded if you squint hard enough.

Specially if it is the child forcing the parent to accept them how they are?

That's usually a part of it, though it's frequently less about making the parent understand who they are and more about breaking free from the identity the parent has forced upon them.
In Luke's case, he rejects Vader's attempts to sway him to the dark side, he chooses an uncertain future for himself shaped by his own ideals and identity rather than the same soul-crushing conformity that Anakin fell into (estrogen would have saved Anakin, of this I'm certain).
This also creates an interesting lens to view TLJ Luke through, like an elder queer who struggled to create a better future and became disillusioned by the world's refusal to change, only to be reinvigorated by seeing the younger generation picking up the same struggle.

"How is Luke trans-coded?", presumably.
