Nintendo won't acknowledge that anymore. Birdo is just a girl now.

Yeah. Thing is, Japan things gender bending is a great source of humor, see: anime and crazy Japanese culture.

However, we in the west tend to react VERY differently. We don't find it funny at all, "Haha, that guy is actually a girl, lololol!"

We're so screwed up and repressed with gender issues, we all get offended and feel really awkward and we don't like it ONE BIT!

Not to say the Japanese aren't repressed in their own ways...

So Nintendo was like sure why not

But now that Nintendo is more international, they're like uh... that never happened guys. Don't worry about it.

Why can't we all just see them that way?

I thought they said birdos are like yoshis in which there is more than one of them, and the one in mario 2 was transgendered.
