Someone give me trans Boromir.
Boromir staring at Aragorn/Gimli b/c he can't grow a beard.
Boromir eyeing Legolas because wtf I thought all men grow beards why can't I be an elf and blend in.
Boromir succumbing to the ring because he wants to be accepted, he wants Gondor to be an accepting place, he wants his father to remember his daughter is now his son, he wants the few other trans men he's met to not have to hide, he wants to have a spouse who loves and accepts him, he wants to sire children, and the ring promises that to him.
Boromir dying because since he went with the fellowship he's been binding constantly and the arrows don't kill him, a rib breaks and punctures his lung.
Boromir wanting to be like Faramir in more ways Faramir could know, and that is why he always takes Faramir's side against Denethor because 'we're brothers.'
Boromir being afraid of Galadriel because he's afraid of her finding out his secret and then she doesn't say anything but the gold belt is a sign of masculinity and heroism to the elves.
Boromir volunteering to go on the quest because he's a man dammit and he can't imagine continuing to live in a world where he has to live in fear of someone discovering his secret. Boromir volunteering to go on the quest because he wants the world to be a better place and he'd rather die trying for that than live to see what Sauron makes of it.
Legolas and Aragorn being more or less aware of his secret but elves are completely accepting and Aragorn knows what he found in Gondor as Thorongil.
Gimli being aware of it but accepting him as normal because Dwarves have at least 5 genders.
Boromir thinking no one accepts him until his dying breath where Aragorn tells him he will go to Minas Tirith, but what he means is that he will go there and make it better for other trans men as the kings of Gondor made it in the old days, before the stewards.
Boromir meeting Gandalf in the in-between-place, and Gandalf being completely accepting and then Boromir must go and be reborn as he is not in the body that imprisoned him. Gandalf promises him that he will watch over Faramir.
Boromir and Gandalf go their separate ways.
