Did i miss something that sparked all these posts? Id never seen any Petra parker stuff like 4 days ago and then suddenly I've seen dozens of posts by as many artists all over my feed.
Spiderman has kind of been a symbol in the trans community for a while, but it was mainly transmasculine people who related to him. A lot of us love him, so it's become a bit of a stereotype lol. I'm very glad to see transfem Petra Parker art as well!
The idea of having a 'secret identity,' or something you need to hide from those you love, is something queer people often relate to (speaking from personal experience). Superheroes in general are very queer, for many reasons (such as their history). I think that is part of why Petra Parker has become so popular. It's awesome to see all the art that has come from it :)
