Dipper Being Trans

#gravityfalls #dipper #trans #pridemonth
At this point, it's not even an allegory anymore.

To be clear, I'm saying Dipper is coded as a FTM transgender boy.

[exar]

as someone who is trans ftm myself and is around dipper's age, he is painfully relatable

[blorbcoipher]

*Most people ignoring that Alex Hirsch wanted him to be trans but Disney rejected the idea*

[dilariousanalyses]

What, are you saying I'm not a Male?

[elen.ayalagutierrez]

Most comments here be like:
"I'm nor transphobic...BUT-"
Like, yeah we get it
Don't take this that seriously

[johnmartin]

Honestly the fact that the trans community sees themselves in Dipper is a testament to his character and how well written. Cause everyone has wanted to exhibit the traits that are considered masculine, and Dipper’s arc shows that you don’t have to be some 50s jock bully stereotype to be a real man. Like Stan says being a Man is about standing up for what’s right even if others don’t like you for it. And the type of man Dipper becomes is one that anyone can be proud to be. So while I don’t personally read Dipper as Trans I certainly don’t have a problem with Dipper’s arc connecting with more than just straight boys

I love the voice cracks 😭

"But then they wanted me to do this really tough, horrible th;ng-"

[jaded-mandarin]

I thought it was kinda weird how everyone made fun of his voice cracking, but then I started T and my mom and my brother make fun of me CONSTANTLY. It do be pretty funny to be fair

[jish]

Only reason I don't think he's trans is that he's doing what most boys do that age. Hell, so many of us were embarrassed by our cracking voice or being called boy instead of man back in late elementary/early middle school that I 100% identify with how Dipper was feeling in these clips.

i never seen dipper in this context, and now that i see it, i kinda feel bad for him and i just think, "yea i know how this feels."

[YTCat]

The first scene is kinda relatable ngl. I’m AFAB but I feel more like a guy (or well closer to masculinity, I don’t wanna label my gender specifically) and I try to pass as a guy but then I still get seen as a female and it’s so AAARRFGHHH
I personally never thought of him as trans, but I love the hc and it’s adorable :3

[The_DelicateDr]

im a trans dude and i go by Dipper in my moms house, trans Dipper is my comfort i love it.

it sucks not being seen as a man so often no matter how much you pass or how long you’ve been on testosterone, and being told you can’t be trans because you’re a kid, cause i’m 15 and i’ve been on t for almost 4 months now! i’m 100% sure i’m happier as a man, and the pure happiness you get when being seen as equal to the cis males in your life is just the best.

i think seeing some of my own experiences in dipper make things feel like they’ll turn out ok.

[Izaacs_notDead]

To the people in the comments, he doesn’t have to be trans, or even trans coded in your eyes. But some people do relate to him as trans people themselves, and I think it’s kinda cool that people can find community even in tiny things such as characters in shows

[tylergray]

I’m not saying I don’t believe Dipper is trans I fully embrace that and I love it. But some of this just doesn’t click with me being evident signs

[shippinggoggles]

genuinely shocked that this many people are in fandom and yet are completely unaware of what a headcannon is. ppl are fully in these comments like “look im not transphobic but i don’t think he’s trans/he’s not trans” like yeah thats fine, but why are you gonna comment that on a comp that someone made about their headcannon? is it that cis ppl (and a few “pick me” babyqueers from what i see🫢) think that if these headcanons are allowed to exist it’ll threaten *their* existence or something? is it that ppl think ppl who enjoy these headcanons believe it’s actually canon?? i genuinely never understood why ppl care that much abt fighting queer headcanons. like nobody’s stopping them from making their own headcannons. anyways, enough ranting, it’s refreshing to see my little boy again💙

[Wafflelovr]

AS A TRANS MAN, I love this headcannon fr!! <3 Dipper trans is my everything :3
I go by Dib tho, since it's an invader zim character also trans coded :D

[eyed_landmerman]

Confusing Gender Dysmorphia with Social Acceptance. Every manly issue Dipper has had, was because others made fun of him. Not because he felt uneasy with himself.

[froggysock]

I (a trans person) love this head canon, but in an AU. Mabel and Stan care about Dipper too much to make fun of him for not being manly, cause if he’s trans that’d be much worse. I think he’s cis in the show, but I wouldn’t put it past the writers to put hints in when Disney wouldn’t allow it.

[PongoBongo]

the only reason why i wouldnt like this theory cuz that would make a lot of what the other characters say in the show kinda transphobic if they are aware that dipper is a transboy like repeatedly questioning his manliness and calling him girly..that would be a nasty thing to say to a transboy even if they didn't act like a typical manly man

[MyDude._.]

First off, I am NOT transphobic.
I just don't think there is enough evidence that Dipper is trans. Most of his problems with being manly is just social awkwardness.
