Birdo. First introduced to the USA in the sequel to the ever so popular Super Mario Bros, Birdo is video games first recorded occurrence of a transgender character. The initial NES guide for the game referred to Birdo "He thinks he's a girl and he spits eggs from his mouth. He'd rather be called Birdetta." Thankfully as society has grown we simply refer to Birdo as "her" as we should. Although the creating company doesn't come out and formally recognize Birdo as Trans, trans representation matters, and Birdo is one of the most iconic women in video games if you ask me!
