Transgender RWBY Headcanons

so yeah! this blog isn’t dead. Because of my family stuff this year, I’ve had less drive to write headcanons and more uhhh...angsty personal things.

fun! here we go. another one to knock out. hehe. I’ve been having a bit of a writer’s block up until yesterday eased my way back into HC writing.

This might be a bit short but I hope you enjoy it!

-All of his family are a bit lost at first. That being said, Ruby doesn’t have a very big family. The only family he interacts with on a regular basis are Qrow, his dad, and Yang!

-Yang does take the longest to adjust to the new pronouns and title but she still loves her little bro.

-Taiyang asks him if he wants to change his name, but Ruby explains he doesn’t want to change it since it’s one of the few things he has from his mom. Taiyang is respectfully of it.

-Qrow takes it the best actually. Actually telling him about friends Qrow knows who are trans. (while hiding their own true gender)

-Taiyang and Yang get Ruby his first binder pretty quickly. they get him a red binder since it’s his favorite color, but they all find out pretty quickly that a nude colored binder is best to blend in.

First HC post! aw yee!

-Ruby was scared about coming out to her girlfriend Blake about being trans. She was worried Blake would break up with her.

-Ruby is very self-conscious about the way she looks. Not only because of being trans but because she’s the youngest student there. She feels like she has a rep to keep up.

-Ruby comes out to Yang first. Yang takes it well, and accepts her. Even takes it as far as messing her hair and calling her little sis after coming out her.

-Next she comes out to Blake. She’s really nervous and even starts to cry when she comes out to Blake. At the time,Blake hadn’t told the team about her ears. Blake hugs Ruby,telling her she would love her regardless of gender and goes on a bit of a rant about how everyone is different before telling Ruby about her being a faunus.

-She comes out to Weiss last. It…doesn’t go so well. Weiss ignores Ruby for a week before apologizing and telling Ruby she accepts her by taking Ruby on a shopping spree for cute clothes. (which ends in the outfit we knew and loved in vols 1-3)
