Talk:An Under-Edd's-Hat Theory/@comment-25754388-20141123211813

My theory is that Edd was actually born a girl. He decided early on in his life that he was not a girl and was simply a boy trapped in a girl's body. His parents however didn't listen to his concerns and continued to raise him as a girl, this explains his feminine nature. It can be observed that his parents are quite negligent and so Edd found it easy to cover up his true gender with hats, baggy clothes and no use of feminine products such as makeup. He puts up his hair in a pony tail and covers it with a hat, the end of the pony tail comes out of the back of his hat explaining the strands of hair we see in shots of his back. He would have his hair cut but his parents don't allow it and he's scared that he'll mess it up if he attempts it himself. He pins back his hair too to reduce the amount of strands that may come out of the pony tail and also out of his hat. This explains why he is able to produce a hair pin when he needs one and also maybe why one time Eddy said that what ever was under his hat "shines like a thousand suns" referring to his hair pins.

He can be seen with his shirt off in many episodes with nothing to show that he might have/be developing breasts. This is because he isn't at the age of developing these traits yet or he's a late bloomer, either way for now he's safe to take off his shirt when he wants to just like the other boys.

As for his attraction to Nazz, he does believe that he is a boy trapped in a girl's body, so it wouldn't be obscene to think that he'd fancy a girl.
