Remember in Captain Rainbow where you prove to a judge that Birdo is a girl because she owns a vibrator?

The manual for Super Mario Bros. 2 originally asserts that Birdo is a boy who "thinks he is a girl" (i.e. transgender), and would rather be referred to as "Birdetta". Later releases of Super Mario Bros. 2 removed mention of her new name. Starting with Mario Tennis, Nintendo eventually simply refers to Birdo as female, depicting Birdo and Yoshi as girlfriend and boyfriend. However, several games still make mention of her male body, such as Captain Rainbow, or refer to the gender confusion without assigning one, such as in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

I get that Birdo is male sexed.

But the deal is apparently she's trans, meaning identifies as being a woman.

So Mario Party calling her a he would be considered offensive.

Well, no one outside of Japan (and probably even barely in Japan) has played Captain Rainbow, so...

just because a male wears women's accessories doesn't necessarily mean they identify as trans

That's pretty shitty if they're intentionally misgendering Birdo.
