hello i’m danny ( they/them pronouns ) and here are my rules & about for lev ! a few important things to know off the bat:
i am a trans-masculine person myself, so while i cannot speak with authority about all trans people, i will be basing my lev off of my own experiences and feelings !
this blog will be iconless ( for now ) so i can focus on characterization instead !
i want to focus on lev’s trauma as much as his recovery, his healing, and his joy. he is grieving, he is hurt, yes, but i refuse to perpetuate the tragic trans trope that paints him as solely a victim of hatred and violence. he has agency. he has power. i want to return those things to him !
lev does not have access to this language to describe himself during canon, but he is without a doubt a transgender man. transition is a difficult concept to fully unravel, but he is living full time as a boy and dresses in a way that makes him feel masculine. he is as transitioned as he needs to be for a young boy in the apocalypse. surgery or medication will not him any more or less trans !
