A guide to Hawk Ladies from twt account @atmxpalmers
There is lots of confusion with Hawk lore for some and this is meant to explain Hawk Ladies. Shayera hates being called Hawkgirl thats why she is Hawkwoman but JLU made a mistake and had her as Hawkgirl despite that. She was voiced by Maria Canals Barrera so they probably treated her as red head whitewashed Kendra a little bit. Shayera is from Thanagar while Kendra is from Earth. Isabela Merced is most likely playing Kendra she even posted her photo. Its not a racebend like people want to claim. She is playing a different character.

Hawkgirl explaining--with the frayed patience of someone who has been asked this five times already today--that she cannot talk to birds. It is actually a serious problem that she cannot talk to birds. She is on thin ice with birds. She looks just enough like one when flying that nearby flocks will assume she’s some kind of fucked-up super predator, and it’s a 50/50 toss-up if they decide to take the risk to chase her out of their territory.
And she can’t just fight birds. She’s a superhero, she can’t be seen slapping sparrows out of the air. What the fuck is the League’s PR supposed to do about that? And she can’t communicate with them either because ancient Thanagarian vocalizations are just different enough from Terran birds’ that she can’t make herself understood and just similar enough that she sounds like she’s talking some serious shit. And the crows. Oh God, the crows hate her. She still doesn’t know what she did.
So no. She cannot talk to birds. You want Wonder Woman.

we need to have a talk about how jlu shayera ultimately lessened shayera's 'masculinity' and instead increased her feminity, which is ironic because she was capitalized in jlu as not being like other women solely because she growled and snarled.
in comics, there were only two hawkgirls who wore croptops. that was shiera & kendra.
this is comic shayera's reaction to wearing something that's only somewhat less revealing compared to a crop top.
and THIS is how jl/jlu decide to dress her up in the show.
now this doesn't seem like an issue at first but let me provide images for how shayera would dress just prior to jlu.
post crisis shayera (who jl/jlu used majorly as inspo) rarely wore crop tops, dresses, etc. she mostly wore pants & would even attend formal events in a suit. so why did jlu all of a sudden make her dress in short dresses & more revealing outfits? while simultaneously capitalizing on her being a 'foil' to wonder woman who was clearly meant to be the more 'feminine' one on the team?
it wouldn't bother me this much if the crew of the show hadn't tried to say shayera is super unique because you rarely hear women growl on TV or whatever. it's more than obvious that a show under bruce timm wouldn't be able to properly handle the topic of a woman's feminity *cough* fury *cough*, and being a love interest seemed to only increase it for shayera. it also doesn't help that jl/jlu shayera was practically man obsessed & always went out of her way to defend them against diana.
to add onto this, my actual problem is how it affected comic shayera. n52 was bad for a lot of reasons. shayera being one of them. you would have never seen pre n52 shayera wearing something like this ever. this sudden sexualization of shayera happened only after jlu had aired.
it's like ever since jlu happened, the idea of shayera being seen as more 'masculine' or whatever went completely down the drain. shayera lost what was so unique to her and ended up becoming just like the others with bruce timm. i miss seeing shayera in suits & i wish we'd get that back. the hawkwomen don't really seem to have their own unique fashion choices at all ever since jlu happened either. we need a change in that.
i also find it slightly ironic that shayera had more masculine outfits next to hawkman because you'd think being his love interest would increase the feminine outfits 1000x times lol
