10 women who cosplay male characters and slay

If there's one thing to know about the cosplay community, it's that there are no rules. You can dress as whatever character you want, regardless of skin color, gender, looks, or orientation. The whole point is to get creative. That's why LGBTQ cosplay weddings exist and hateful speech against skin color is slashed on the regular. 

Turns out, there are tons of female cosplayers dressing up as male characters on Instagram — which is not only super badass, but it also battles gender norms in the community.

Women are cosplaying popular male characters from movies, TV, and comics.
