I once had someone asking me "do you think Sam could be a trans character?" and I think yeah, headcanons are meant to be a personal interpretation of something that wasn't confirmed in the story and I strongly believe it doesn't have to stick to the lore as long as it brings you comfort and isn't meant to disrespect someone else so yeah if you think Sam is trans then he is.
But I saw "you're not allowed to think that because that's not canon so it hurts the OG story" (how ???) from people who yell "free speech" whenever they need to spit they bigotry so many time that I understand why someone would ask me how it makes sense to the actual Hulk lore.
So let's show them how everybody can bend the canon to their will. In fact that's what being a true fan is about to me, it's not about following a canon, it's about having your own fun with your own interpretation. And today I'll show you that anyone can bend the canon to their own need because it's "open" enough for that and have fun with it with this very cool Sam interpretation.
Sam is trans because I said so
