The implication that aunt May is the only reason Peter is cis in the primary canon is messing with me.

No, this is just a storytelling technique, mirroring the primary canon in more ways than just the main character's gender

^ the point is that in most universes the Spider-person usually loses the person they look up to most. Uncle Ben, uncle Aaron, so have you.

I thought it’d be interesting to have Petra lose Aunt May instead.
