But that doesn’t mean Stan’s questioning their gender right?

Wrong

When Stan starts dating Bill In high school, every time Bill refereed to Stan as his boyfriend it just felt so wrong

And every time anyone else refers to Stan as boy, something just like twitches in their brain, that that’s wrong

It’s like an itch and they don’t know why being referred to as man bothers them, that it makes them feel dysphoric

It’s super confusing because Stan never once thought of themselves as a girl and the idea of being perceived as a girl makes them just as dysphoric as being perceived as male

It takes Stan till they’re twenty and already dating the rest of the losers for them to finally realize/come to terms with that they’re non-binary

Stan is super nervous but decides they have to tell their partners

So Stan calls a house meeting

It’s rare that everyone can be home at the same time but one week night Stan sees that everyone is home so they figure now is the time for the family meeting

Stan stands in the middle of the room with all eyes on them and the words “I’m non-binary,” comes muffled out their mouth

Richie has to ask Stan to repeat it

So Stan does and everyone is just kinda looking at them, trying to register what they just said

Bev moves first

She quickly moves to hug Stan and give them a small kiss with a “I love you”

Eventually the rest of the losers join the hug and Stan thinks they may cry

After a moment they all move to sit down, kinda still sitting on one another when the questions start

Stan expected questions

Mike asks if Stan still wants to be referred to as “Stan”

Which Stan says they do because to them the name Stan just fits them

Ben doesn’t have any questions only to reassurances that he still loves Stan

Which Stan is grateful for

Bev doesn’t have questions either only says she has ideas for a gender neutral clothing line now though

Bill says that he kinda always knew that Stan was at least questioning their gender, but was always prepared to love Stan no matter how they wish to identify

Richie’s only question is “Guess I can’t call you Stan the man now huh?”

Stan laughs, “yes that nic name is dead now, but you can call me Stan not a man though”

“You’re brilliant Stany”

Eddie has the most actual educational questions like “when did you come to this realization?” “do you need to transition or anything?” “hormones?”

It would be a little overwhelming if Stan didn’t know that Eddie was only asking out a place of concern and love

The losers quickly start using the correct pronouns for Stan and referring to them as their partner instead of boyfriend

Stan’s heart is happy
