With the Superman 64 run, It doesnt really matter that the runner didnt really speak much their transness was still being pushed constantly during the run with spikevegeta changing his speech patterns to only use female pronouns which was at least personally incredibly jarring when i have only ever heard him use we to describe things that are going to happen, just throwing in a few gender neutral pronouns would of made it feel way more natural. It just came off as either: A they were heavily pandering to the runners desires, B terrified of saying anything that offended anyone or C both of the above.
I mean, the runner was trans. What were they going to say? Personally if they said "he" I think it would have ended up being much, much more awkward and cringe because the runner would clearly be uncomfortable. I mean if you personally found it jarring that's fine, but I don't really think they were trying to "push" anything so much as they were just trying to make the runner feel comfortable and be respectful towards the runner.
