I would really love to hear if you have any transmasc implied characters !!! Please tell us more if you do !!
Dream is probably a trans man but its more complicated then that. I’ve explained before that dreams gender has been dictated by the people around him, he’s been forced to be a girl, then a boy, then will be forced to be a girl once again.
However it’s important to note while dream was told to be a boy after being raised as a girl, he found a lot of meaning and comfort within masculinity. Dream really enjoys taking in a masculine protective role. He experiences his gender most positively when he’s in knights armour or is being referred to as the knight of hope.
And once he is forced to be a girl again, I’m sure that experience will emphasize just how comfortable he got with being a boy.
I don’t know if I stated before he will have a forced detransition arc. Dreams experience with gender is quite messy and dark and it’s very intertwined with his relationship with his groomer,, or I guess god.
I use him as a way to explain my own messy experience with transitioning. in my life I’ve had people force me to be diffrent genders. Not out of care for my self expression but for their own pleasure. In that I don’t think dream at the beginning of nw sees himself as trans and I personally wouldn’t label him as trans man then. Only until he’s forced to be a girl again he realizes he’s found value in that previous expression
A value not assigned by those who control and abuse him, but value he’s found all by himself. And his new need to be something that people force him not to be, a yearning to be his true gender expression- I think that’s when he becomes trans. The anchorite memory explaining how she found her gender finally makes sense in dreams mind. Maybe in that moment it’s the first time dreams ever chosen something for himself, and it’s definitely the first dreams ever decided he was a person
Bah but yeah he’s trans and it’s very important to the plot. There’s probably other trans mascs but dream is only in my mind at the moment
