(spoilers) it's never stated if the character is actually trans or not, but either way the movie is horribly transphobic and has a very harmful depiction of trans and gender non-conforming people. The trans character is a pedophile who is portrayed as ""a man pretending to be a woman/maternal figure"" in order to gain the trust of children and (literally) eat them. They are also a twist villain and the main characters yell at them "she's a man!" when their gender identity is revealed.
