Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DC has no sense of tone.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I just had a hilariously pedantic discussion with Tim on the fact that there have been 2 female Robins.
Me: "I *know* I have told you this before! We've been dating for over 5 years!"
Him: "Uh, it may have slipped my mind."
Me: "Well, you know that only Steph Brown is canonical, right?"**
Him: [blank look]
Me: "Oh, for god's sake!"
This came out of the fact that there was a gigantic kink event in Columbus last weekend (way too big for me to handle the crowds), and apparently there was a superhero-themed party dealie. One of our friends told us that another friend, L. (who is a woman) dressed as Robin.
Of course my first reaction was "Oooh! Carrie Kelly or Steph Brown?!?"
They just looked at me like I was speaking in tongues. Finally I said, "It MATTERS, okay?!?"
And when I explained to them that there have been 2 female Robins, they were all like, "Oh, L. just thought she was being edgy." I decided to not even try to explain the whole canonical dress-Tim-Drake-in-drag dealie.
Edgy, my ass.
**(Actually, is Dark Knight Returns considered canon, but just...future-canon? Because I think of DKR as canon. Maybe I mean only Steph was Robin in current continuity.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dude. IT TOTES MATTERS.

Friend L. has the build and haircut to pull off Carrie Kelly. (Actually, it was our friends who claimed that L. was trying to be "edgy" -- I don't know for sure whether or not L. reads comics. I would kind of expect it of her, to tell the truth. If I find out she really was being Carrie Kelly, I may have to leave Tim for her.)
Also, when I showed my Tim various issues with Steph Brown as Robin, he looked me up and down and said, "If you don't cut your hair, you could TOTALLY cosplay girl-Robin."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The All-Robin issue of Tiny Titans had Carrie.

Well, that and a jumpline.

I call that canon.
I have nothing but mad love for Tiny Titans. Anything that could make Darkseid into the school lunchlady is PURE GOLD in my book.

Fuck DC. Just fuck them.
I feel that whoever made this decision should be locked in a room with Pam Grier and CCH Pounder and forced to explain to them exactly why it was so vital to make Amanda Waller slender as part of DC's new, improved approach to the character.
