Rowley is a trans female change my mind.

There is no doubt in my head that my theory is correct, and I believe I’ll even have you convinced aswell by the end of this post. Here are my reasons:

• We see Rowley has a pink, sparkly bike that he brings to school. By no means am I saying colour is gendered however taking into account later evidence this does actually indicate transgenderism. Perhaps he chose the socially feminine colour to help alleviate his own dysphoria. I can picture him asking his mum at the bike store to go over to the girl sections. And with the amount of bullies in that school you, as a parent or the student, would only choose to put yourself/your child in this compromising situation to combat dysphoria. Knowingly or Unknowingly.

• Rowley’s obsession with Joshy. Yes, I know guys can have celebrity crushes on other guys but Rowley takes it to a whole new level. Sure, he could just be gay, but I believe his interests align too perfectly with that of a female’s and therefore his obsession with Joshy is just another factor.

• Rowley got on almost TOO well with the older girls in the movies. A prime example of this was at Rodrick’s party when he had all of them doing the konga and dancing. Meanwhile straight cis guys their age couldn’t even get them to crack a smile. This was not Rowley being flirtatious, as Greg was jealous about, this was him fitting in with his own people/crowd. Since he aligns with being a girly female it’s no surprise he understood their humour and vibe perfectly.

• During the carnival scene we witness Greg, Rowley and his parents sharing an ice cream cone. The treat consisted of three ice cream flavours -: Chocolate on the BOTTOM, which we all know was Rowley’s dad’s choice wink wink. Potentially hinting at his status in the bedroom. The second layer was most definitely Rowley’s mum with vanilla. Despite her being a DL lesbian, she is a simple and sweet woman and her choice reflects this. Lastly, Rowley tops off the cone with a bright pink strawberry dreamsicle flavour. This is where the evidence starts to get undeniable as there is no universe where a cis guy could be this partial to female attributes/interests. (EXCLAIMER: Notice how Greg wanted his rocky road flavour but was made to lick and share the cone with all of them, he did NOT want to consume that ice cream. This clearly reveals Greg is a straight, conforming boy who DOES NOT want to partake in the LGBTQ cone).

• I in no way want to stereotype people based on their appearance, but just for this post’s sake it’s essential to note that right off the bat I thought Rowley’s dad looked like someone who posts an ad on craigslist to meet up with dodgy men in deserted areas. I believe he did this on the side, due to being closeted and in an unhappy marriage, but this directly correlates with his son’s interests who could have potentially been passed the gene or stumbled upon a email he perhaps shouldn’t have.

• To be honest I’m not fully convinced Rowley is a biological child of these two parents. I have a small headcanon he is adopted since I genuinely cannot picture those two adults together in a bed, I believe they are beards for eachother’s hidden sexualities. They care about Rowley greatly and are playing happy family for his upbringing and happiness.

• I know this may be a controversial take but there is an increasing emergence in LGBTQ children if the parents identify as LGBTQ themselves. This could definitely be a reason as to why Rowley turned out trans!

I hope you can all see where I stand on this!

Also, happy national ice cream for breakfast day dude! Rock on! I know Rowley would’ve enjoyed this annual tradition. Lemme know what y’all I had! In honour of Greg and straight individuals, I had rocky road
