Kantara: Chapter 1 does not portray the LGBTQ+ community in any discernible way within its narrative, characters, or themes. All available information indicates an absence of LGBTQ+ representation in the film's content.

Kantara - A Legend: Chapter 1 does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's focus is on mythological and spiritual traditions, ancestral conflict, and man's relationship with nature, without incorporating any elements related to gender or sexual transformation.

Based on available information, the film does not contain described scenes where female characters engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. While a female character is involved in action-oriented moments like sword fighting, these are noted as performative or ceremonial rather than direct combat with male adversaries.

The film's characters, including Berme, Kanakavathi, and King Rajashekara, maintain genders consistent with their established canonical or historical identities. No character's on-screen gender differs from their source material or historical record.

The major cast members are ethnically and phenotypically consistent with the historical setting, or represent an ethnic shift within the broader South Indian racial category, which is excluded from the definition of a race swap. The anachronistic inclusion of Portuguese characters is a historical inaccuracy, not a race swap of an established character.
