It would seem that it has been confirmed that Vivian is trans

Nintendo GameCube classic Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door had its remake released on Switch this week, and it has confirmed that the character Vivian is canonically trans.

In the original's Japanese version, as well as translations for certain European regions, the character was always trans, or at least gender non-conforming. Her sisters in the group the Shadow Sirens bullied her for it, saying that she wasn't like them, which led to her allying with Mario later on in the game.

In the English GameCube localisation, however, this was censored and no reference is made to Vivian being trans. Instead, her sisters bully her for being ugly.

Ah yeah I saw this. I belive this is the first trans character in Mario, correct?

Birdo was the first. Captain Rainbow confirms it.

Because of the internet, I knew this for the Japanese version for a while. I'm not surprised.

Oh that's right, I genuinely forgot that Birdo existed. Anyways, it's nice to see good representation in a paper mario game.
 
Everyone seems to forget that Birdo exists lol
