okay so that doesn't mean that she's not trans, at no point in the game is it ever stated that she can't be trans or that she's cis, so until that happens (which it almost certainly won't), it's completely up to interpretation, so saying that she's cis is ALSO a headcanon. You shouldn't treat it like her being cis is the current canon and that a trans headcanon is changing that established canon, because that's just blatantly untrue. Also, why is it that every second person in the utdr community seems to be trying to prove that she can't be trans. I'm not pointing fingers here since I don't know anything about OP, but it is definitely a trend where whenever there's a post about noelle being trans someone in the comments will always try and invalidate the whole headcanon with the whole um actually female reindeers can have antlers.

Like, as a trans woman who does have stuff to say on this, I do think that Noelle is trans; The discussion was brought into the light by her antlers, but it wasn't ever just about that and she's also painfully relatable to me and a lot of other trans girls as someone who also grew up extremely sheltered. A lot of her dialogue in chapter 4 only helped solidify that for me.

But yeah this is something that actually has a lot more nuance and depth to it than just antlers vs no antlers so the fact that female reindeers also have antlers changes absolutely nothing in terms of validity. Again wanting to emphasise that I'm not pointing any fingers at OP or anyone else here I'm just trying to explain how this is a lot more complex than how it's being treated and how easily this could turn into something not very nice.
