'Legend of Korra' fans label 'Kyoshi is a trans' theory as 'stupidest take of Avatar yet'

A recent theory on The Legend of Korra and Avatar the Last Airbender has left fans divided in terms of opinion. Recently, some fans merged a few sequences from the popular shows and hinted that Kyoshi, a beloved character from the show, may be a bisexual transgender woman.

The users claimed that the makers did this in order to include diversity in the series. A relationship also was hinted between Korra and Asami Sato, which helped to further back this theory up. However, Avatar Kyoshi who is an Avatar from the Earth Kingdom has a huge legacy in terms of storytelling and various aspects of the show. Thus, several fans disagreed with the theory and called it the “stupidest” thing one could ever hear.

Avatar Kyoshi was introduced to viewers as a woman and was the founding member of the all-female sect of warriors dedicated to her teachings. The women learn her fighting style which is unique and thus Kyoshi as a character caused a huge impact for many people who watched the show. Her entire story can be seen in Avatar the Last Airbender- Rise of Kyoshi. In the comics, however, Kyoshi is termed as bisexual which can also be seen in the film and series. However, the idea of Kyoshi being a trans woman is something that did not go well with fans. Fans took to social media to offer some arguments against the theory and thus voice out their opinions about the same as well.

The one fan who posted the theory somehow also managed to prove that not only Kyoshi but the entire clan of the women warriors were essential transgender women. The tweet has now been deleted by the user, however, it stated that the Kyoshi clan comprised of trans people. However, the user got slammed by several users who opposed the theory calling it preposterous. Fans were ready to agree that some warriors among the all-women clan could be trans but refused to agree upon Kyoshi being trans herself. Many people voiced their opinion on this topic and thus things got heated in the comments section, which could have eventually led to the original tweet and thread being deleted.
