She says Wonder Woman is a queer and trans icon.

Why 100?

Closeted lesbians liked her boobs?

🤣

I want to thank you guys for bringing some actual wit to this witforesaken site. It’s nauseating and disgusting how feeble most of the attempts at humor are on MovieChat. You made me laugh. Usually, I sneer and shake my head.

Y u have to make it creepy? Stay off my side.

Segregation? The hell you are talking about? Let people enjoy things.

This post is hilarious.

You sound very angry and hateful for a gay guy.

SNORT!!!!!

:)

That may be true, but even in high school we thought wonder woman was a lesbian and that was 30 years ago.

So maybe Carter is just trying to get some publicity, and stroke her ego, and maybe I don't see the trans connection, but I've never thought that Wonder Woman was straight.

Is that cannon that she was the only heterosexual? Or just because tv shows in the 70s didn't show gay people in a way that wasn't comedic relief? I'm just curious because I found an article yesterday from the Smithsonian that mentions a book written by a psychiatrist where he states “As to the ‘advanced femininity,’ what are the activities in comic books which women ‘indulge in on an equal footing with men’? They do not work. They are not homemakers. They do not bring up a family. Mother-love is entirely absent. Even when Wonder Woman adopts a girl there are Lesbian overtones,” he said. The link and full quote are in the comment below. It's interesting about the creator of the comic and his life with two wives, as well as S&M overtones in the early comics as well.

I mean no comic was going to come right out and say that she was gay. Especially not pre 2000s. But there are so many stories one hears about how art has been misinterpreted and that the poem/story/song/painting wasn't about hetero love at all. In the end though, does it really matter? Can we not interpret characters the way we want to? If I want to see Wonder Woman as an awesome bi sexual why can't I? It's not like she's a real person, or has consistent writers. 😊

Really though, I don't care. I just know that since my learning of the Amazons, I've considered Wonder Woman to swing both ways, so I was suprised at how many people were adamant that she was straight, and could only ever be straight.

Have you ever read about the creator? I honestly think the creator would be fine with her being a lesbian.

This isn't the first time it's been suggested either.

Most superheroes didn’t survive peacetime and those that did were changed forever in 1954, when a psychiatrist named Fredric Wertham published a book called Seduction of the Innocent and testified before a Senate subcommittee investigating the comics. Wertham believed that comics were corrupting American kids, and turning them into juvenile delinquents. He especially disliked Wonder Woman. Bender had written that Wonder Woman comics display “a strikingly advanced concept of femininity and masculinity” and that “women in these stories are placed on an equal footing with men and indulge in the same type of activities.” Wertham found the feminism in Wonder Woman repulsive.

“As to the ‘advanced femininity,’ what are the activities in comic books which women ‘indulge in on an equal footing with men’? They do not work. They are not homemakers. They do not bring up a family. Mother-love is entirely absent. Even when Wonder Woman adopts a girl there are Lesbian overtones,” he said. At the Senate hearings, Bender testified, too. If anything in American popular culture was bad for girls, she said, it wasn’t Wonder Woman; it was Walt Disney. “The mothers are always killed or sent to the insane asylums in Walt Disney movies,” she said. This argument fell on deaf ears.
