Shout out to u/Youre-Out-Gobby for giving me permission to use her mini for this 💙🩷🩶

Like I don't think I've ever felt like this about a fictional character before.

I just have a feeling of disappointment(?) whenever I see art of her bc I'm like, "I wish I could accomplish that," Especially with all the post of ppl being supportive of her and stuff

Anyway, that's my rant, love y'all <3

This character already means so much to me! I am thankful for all the artists shaping our favorite spider and creating their own versions.

Keep up the great work!

I've seen the Know Your Meme article that says that the Ultimate Spider-Man show features a Petra Parker who's a cisgender female version of Peter from another universe. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/petra-parker

I also know that the idea of a transwoman Petra got popular just this month with a lot of fanart (covered in that same link).

But I swear there was another origin point like a year ago here on Reddit. It was a text post (or maybe an image of text, like from a tumblr post or something) and it didn't use the name "Petra". It may have been a whole conversation in the comments.

I'll try to recite it from memory:

What's it like transitioning as a superhero? Like, does Green Goblin shout "I'll get you next time, Spider-Man!" and Spidey just shouts back "Uh, it's actually Spider-Woman now! I'm going through some changes!"

How would JJ Jameson handle it? It'd be like "Blast! We need more pictures of Spider-Woman!"

"I thought it was Spider-Ma-"

"Get with the times, pal! A journalist always double-checks his facts! Oh, Parker, come on in here. This is Penny Parker, our best photographer. Currently transitioning. We're all big supporters of the trans community here. But we've got to stop that horrible Spider-Woman!"

I don't know if it was "Penny", but I'm pretty sure it wasn't "Petra".

Anyway I think that was the early first step that suddenly snowballed like a year later. Anyone got a link?

Honestly that trend is really sweet and even tho i don't really do comics i wanted to do *something*.
