“Spider-Gwen” in the Spiderverse movies is not trans in that she represents an AMAB Gwen Stacy, and I am sure there is some TERFy radfem out there correctly pointing out that seeing the “witty, responsible, sympathetically put-upon” Spider-package come in a girl (a non-pregnant one at least) and going “no way is she cis!” is really insulting.

That said, the “reveal your identity to your parents, they take it poorly, so you run away and live with found family for a while, but when you finally reconnect they’ve come around and want you back” is a trans-coded plot (a generation ago it would be merely gay!), and as “they’ll see!” fantasies go it’s fairly achievable and good to encourage over them crying at your funeral.
