Aris from maze runner is definitely trans right? Why else would they put him in the girl’s maze? Seeing how WCKD works and the way the people who work for them think, they’d just put him in the girl’s maze for being afab not in the boy’s maze with the other boys. It’s not like they actually needed to be like “girls over here and boys over there” for their mazes but then again, they’d be the type of people to do that. To me, Aris is definitely a trans guy. What do you all think?
I mean where he would have gotten Testosterone is besides me (WCKD supplying T 🤩 let’s not pretend like they care) but trans Aris is a nice thought and there aren’t enough trans characters that aren’t there to be the shank’s ass of the joke so TRANS ARIS!!!!!!!!
I know some may say he’s the opposite of Teresa (with her being the only girl in a boys maze) but she got placed there to disrupt their glade right? Sent her up after Thomas to progressively make things worse and worse for the group. I didn’t read the books so this was my take. It also seemed each time Thomas cracked the maze and pushed for answers, a consequence was there to match it, pushing the gladers to escape. Did Aris have a similar position as Teresa with WCKD?
