Birdos gender has been a topic of discussion and debate among fans for years. Birdo is a character from the Mario franchise, and according to the Super Mario Bros. 2 manual, Birdo is referred to as a male who believes herself as/wishes to be a woman. However, in most games, Birdo is voiced by a female voice actor. Birdo has been perceived as transgender and has become a trans icon due to her perceived gender identity. The Spanish language website for Mario Smash Football suggests that the character's gender is indeterminate. The European website for Mario Strikers Charged Football refers to Birdo as a male character. In the United States and Canada, Birdo is still referred to with female pronouns, while in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, Birdo is described with male pronouns. In Japan and Spain, any reference to Birdo's gender is intentionally unclear. In conclusion, Birdo's gender is ambiguous and has been perceived as both male and female by different sources.
