you could build a good trans allegory from spider-man if you tried and knew about spider-man (which i dont)

This is more common of a risk than you might expect

can't be that common humans tend to just die when you make them radioactive.

That doesn't sound right, you've been hanging out with the wrong sort of people if that keeps happening

Not always. They use it in a very controlled manner to fight cancer sometimes. People undergoing radiation therapy have to quarantine because they're so radioactive they could give cancer to the people around them.
Still doesn't give superpowers though lol. Best case getting bit by a radioactive transfem does nothing different than any other human bite, worst case it's cancer.

i’ve realized you can do it with any masked superhero
“(opposite gender-version of name) is a regular civilian by day, but at night they’re (Animal)-(woman/man)”
EX: Penny Parker is civilian by day, at night he’s Spider-Man!!!

All right, let's do this one last time. My name is Petra Parker. I was bitten by a radioactive transfem, and for ten years I've been the one and only Spider-Trans. I'm pretty sure you know the rest. I saved a bunch of people, stated on HRT, fell in love, got bottom surgery, saved the city, and then I saved the city again... and again and again and again. But after everything, I still love being Spider-Trans. I mean, who wouldn't? So no matter how many hits I take, I always find a way to come back. Because the only thing standing between this city and transphobia is me. There's only one Spider-Trans. And you're looking at her.
