Transgender people certainly existed then and well before this time. Also, the story is canonically set in the 1990s.

It would have also obviously included transgender people, though they aren’t directly mentioned. It’s also a fact that Larkhill housed people who the British regime did not see as “acceptable,” such as queer men and women, Jews, and other religious and political minorities. V FOR VENDETTA tells us that V was one of the prisoners at Larkhill Resettlement Camp before he became the masked vigilante we all know and love. LISTEN: Want to know other thoughts on V FOR VENDETTA? Check out the ComicsVerse Podcast episode #78! Prisoner Five at Larkhill Now that that’s out-of-the-way, why do I think V is trans? He wore a mask because he wanted to be a stand-in for anybody. And so whether V himself is a trans-woman or not, he would not have a problem with this theory. He is a vigilante for all forms of justice: social, political, religious, etc. However, it’s hard to miss that he wants to destroy this government in part because of its disgusting civil rights abuses. In the 1982 comic and 2006 movie, V’s main goal is the destruction of fascism. We need to take back the symbol of V from the internet dredges of 4chan and the like. They can be racist and sexist and then some. V’s image (or perhaps, the image of the Guy Fawkes mask) has been co-opted by various political groups and internet subcultures, some of which are very toxic. This interpretation not only means a lot to me, and it’s an important theory to consider. They are for our minds to fill-in, like the gutter in between panels. There are certain things we simply never know in V. I’m referring to V FOR VENDETTA, the amazing comic by Alan Moore and David Lloyd and the ambiguity allowed in its reading. But once literature enters the public sphere, it’s open for critique, praise, and most importantly, interpretation. In a world of alternative facts and fake news, I understand if you’re wary.
