::Whoa, man. I don't think that's for you to decide. I have the instruction manual for the Japanese version of ''Double Dash!!'' and it states Birdo is '''male'''. I think it's a bit earlly to decide about its gender, just yet. {{User:Garlic Man/sig}} | ::Whoa, man. I don't think that's for you to decide.

:::Sorry, I got outta hand. =| This whole "gender controversy" seems quite superfluously-incorrect somehow. I just don't understand why Birdo is constantly flipped back and forth to be male, then female, and back again. She's pink, and acts quite feminine, yet most of the Japanese instruction manuals (that I've read online) indicate Birdo's male. ...I'd almost classify Birdo as in it. ...Is it possible that in America Birdo is considered female, but in Japan Birdo's a male? This is why I hardly ever edit this article: if I put 'she' instead of 'he' or vice-versa, it's always wrong. There's no confirmed gender, which makes Birdo more of an 'it' balanced between the two said genders. Once again, sorry for losing my temper up there. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 23:40, 27 May 2008 (EDT) | :::Sorry, I got outta hand. =| This whole "gender controversy" seems quite superfluously-incorrect somehow.

::::Oh, yes. That is very possible. [[Vivian]] is in that same boat: a male in Japan but female in America, probably to avoid accusations that crossdresing/homosexual characters are unfit for family games. The collective views of what children should and should not be exposed to is very different in Japan and America. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 22:08, 1 June 2008 (EDT) | |||
