One of the superheroes helping Kaz or Oliver (or both) with some trans struggles? Like transphobia, dysphoria, binding, ect.
YESSSS
Oliver
- Oliver has a pretty small chest, so he can actually pass pretty well without a binder
- He uses trans tape if he doesn’t want to wear his binder, or if he’s working out
- He gets a lot of voice dysphoria, and body dysphoria due to his lack of muscle
- His super strength helps with that
- He didn’t come out until grade nine and his dad was super supportive but his mom was transphobic
- That’s what led to their divorce
- Oliver hates that his dad left because his mom got full custody
- Anyway, the kids at school didn’t know who was before he came out, so they barely notice when he cuts his hair and changes his name
- At Mighty Med, Oliver is kinda shoved out of the closet when he gets hurt and they have to take off his shirt
- The Crusher is The Most Supportive and helps him work out and gain some muscle mass
- He also beats up transphobes for him
- No cops at Pride, just the Crusher and his trans son
- Skylar helps him voice train, to deepen his voice a little
- And Horace helps get him set up on HRT once he turns sixteen
Kaz
- Kaz is a bit chubbier than Oliver, and his chest is a lot bigger
- He hates it
- He has considered looping them off with a chainsaw
- So he wears a binder all day every day
- He came out to Oliver when they were five and he cut his own hair
- He’s been going by Kaz his whole life (though it used to be Kas) so he didn’t really have to come out to his teachers
- He gets awful dysphoria about his chest and hips.
- That’s why he wears baggy clothes
- The superheroes find out when he starts wheezing after running from a super villain
- He ends up passing out from it
- He wakes up with his binder cut off and Tecton sitting next to him
- “So you’re trans.”
- Kaz almost cries
- “Yeah.”
- “Me too.”
- And Kaz is so surprised because Tecton was literally his transition goal. He loved how masculine and strong he was and wanted to be like him
- And he was trans?
- Tecton shows him his top surgery scars and once Kaz’s ribs recover, Tecton helps get him an athletic binder that he can run around and train in
- Horace does Kaz’s top surgery when he’s seventeen
- Megahertz goes to pride with him and supports him (Megahertz is gay as hell yall)
