Is Whinnie The Pooh Male Or Female

[roadman]

is whinnie the pooh a boy or a girl is a question that is circulating the internet there is a meme that goes like "I was today year old when i realised" and people are saying i was today years old that i realised whinnie the pooh was a girl but the films and Disney cartoon there is a male voice so surely they are a boy and in the book also they are referred to as he i guess my question is why is this a thing at the moment?

I hate to disillusion you but Winnie the Pooh isn't real.

[Spicerack]

I don't know why it's a 'thing' today.
But he's definitely male.

People get bored.

Winnie is a boy bear.

Winnie is a male bear

A.A. Milne always referred to Pooh as a him, so that settles it in my opinion.

[ladybirder]

Short for Winston?

[roadman]

i agree with all of you people

[ladybirder]

Best way roadman;-)

It’s possible the lesser known Whinnie WAS female

TG surely!

bhg a 14.12. You have totally shocked me. For approximately 70 years I have believed HIM to be real. Soon you will be telling me that Noddy and BigEars were not real or, even worse Rupert Bear :o)

Perhaps it is a thing at the moment because of the culture surrounding our sexuality. But I didn't know it was a thing.

Pat: Ive some shocking news re: The Tooth Fairy...... ;-)

[pat2604]

Oh no, APG. Please don't tell me that Father Christmas is pure fantasy too

May have come from the news that the actual bear the character was based on was a girl

The character Winnie the Pooh is a male bear. If you read the book 'House at Pooh Corner' by A A Milne, it is explained, sort of.

[Hopkirk]

The bear is whatever sex it wants to be.

[1ozzy]
