A couple of years ago I was staying after school for a club thing, and we were talking about different time periods or something. The teacher there told me that if I had grown up at any other time I would have lived my life as a woman.

Is it weird that this hurt my feelings? I felt really dysphoric afterwards but she also wasn’t a transphobic person

- He covers his torso more than the other characters, even at the beach he was the only one that wasn't shirtless.

- He's depicted with long hair because he gave himself a Bad haircut and swore to never cut his hair ever again (relatable)

- He has been confused with a girl, even at school, but is affirmed to be a man constantly.

- He plays the ukulele (this one's just for fun)

- He goes to the hospital regularly, though this is because his father is a doctor.

- He used to be the shortest, then had a growth spurt and became the tallest

And most importantly

- I personally like and relate to him a lot, and wouldn't mind if he's not actually trans because I just know that if he were confirmed to be, people would start being awful.

But then I saw a video on tiktok that it would be transphobic to headcanon the character as trans because he wasn't shirtless at the beach because many men don't go shirtless at the beach and that It's bad to headcanon gnc men* as trans. I felt bad because I did feel my headcanon being more affirmed at that video because I also don't go shirtless at the beach because chest dysphoria and it's the most masc I felt in my life.

Am I transandrophobic for headcanoning the character as a trans man?

*the only non-conforming thing about him is having long hair and that's it. Maybe he's also queer due to a few things that have been said about his character, such as not specifying gender for a possible romantic interest for him.

i want to see if i can burn off some of the fat on my chest but my stupid shoulders won’t stay in place 😭

i started physical therapy last friday and neither my therapist nor the student who was shadowing him blink when i told him i was trans about halfway through the appointment :) i often forget to tell doctors since its so natural to me but we were talking about my back pain and i mentioned my upcoming top surgery, then realized i should have explained i was trans before lol. he just said that doing this physical therapy now and strengthing my back should help with the recovery process which i hadnt even thought about! i live in a fairly rural area (not outwardly queerphobic but more of a "as long as you arent TOO gay" kind of area) so it wasnt expected but very much appreciated! :D
