From the Super Mario Wiki article on Birdo:

Gender
Click to expand...
According to the North American instruction manual of Super Mario Bros. 2 (pg. 27)[8]:

He thinks he is a girl and he spits eggs from his mouth. He'd rather be called "birdetta"[sic]

This statement applies to all translations of the title. Throughout the official guide, Birdo is also consistently referred to as a "he"[5]. In Japan, Birdo is portrayed as a male who believes she is a female and prefers to be called by a nickname, "Cathy", rather than her real name "Catherine"[9]. As recently as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Birdo's trophy description describes the character as "gender indeterminate", and uses the pronoun "it" rather than gender-specific pronouns such as "he" or "she", which has sometimes been used in other occurrences[10].

However, Nintendo of America usually refer to Birdo as female. The feminity of Birdo is implied in Mario Kart 8, where she appears on "Women of Racing Organization" advertisements in N64 Royal Raceway, and in Sunshine Airport, the person in the speaker calls her "Ms. Birdo". This is contradicted clearly in the British English version of Mario Tennis Aces, where the Toad commentators use masculine pronouns to refer to Birdo[11], as well as in the British English version of Super Mario Party.

The confusion surrounding Birdo's gender has also been addressed in a light-hearted matter, such as when Popple pauses before settling on calling Birdo a "dame" in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and is also shown in the U.S. manual of Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, where all the female characters have a pink dot behind them, including Birdo. In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, the first two lyrics of Birdo's serenade alludes to the gender confusion by saying Heart of a woman, heart of a man.... Both can know of love's grace.....

In the game Captain Rainbow, Birdo is heard with a deep, male voice which gets high-pitched when she gets angry or excited. Additionally, in the game's second trailer, Little Mac from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! speaks about Birdo, calling her a "young lady," only to take a short break and ponder. His final verdict is "Depending on one's view point, she is a young lady." In the game, Birdo's indeterminate gender also forms the basis for a side quest to find proof that she is a girl (which is found, but censored).

It seems Birdo is canonically tranny, at least in Japan.

What is it about Fire Emblem specifically that makes so many people mad?

Rahjat was a character in fates who had the potential to be your daughter if you S ranked with her father instead. She also has the extremely weird obsession with your character when your her mother and makes a few remarks that could imply she wants to be romantically with you instead of having it be your husband and her father.
She was also just a copy of Thaja from the previous title Fire Emblem Awakening. Thaja was a stalker for both sexes of your character however you could only S Rank with her as a male.

Most people dislike her and Niles (The gay male option) because they're creepy (Rahjat) and over sexual (Niles) and supposedly represent the LGBT community badly. In all honesty, Fates just kind of sucked and ended up ruining the possibility of children units reappearing in any newer games.

I mentioned this before in the main thread but I got a good laugh because I saw mutuals of mine celebrating this already. It was real funny.

👏So👏is👏adding👏the👏clapping👏emoji👏between👏words👏and👏pretending👏that👏makes👏a👏premise👏true👏

Another attempt at making a premise true is repeating the same statement with different emphases.

Then there is appending 'Sorry. I don't make the rules' after a premise. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
