Wait why is my Micheal even transmasc?
Ionno it was fun to rally around a headcanon that a lot of the fandom had. Thinking about Leakyheart and charluiu 's Micheal. It also gives him more than 2 dimensions bc let's be real, while we can pick apart his actions and monologue, he has nowhere near as much depth as the rest of his family. But when it comes to writing trans Micheal into a story it gets kinda difficult because you either make most of his character surround his struggle transitioning or you ignore the fact that he lives in a small town in Utah in the 1980s. It might be dicey, but I'd like to make it work because of how it ties in to looking like his father. Cis Micheal just looks like William on accident, it's not something he could really control. But, trans Micheal is actively taking steps to look and be more masculine, and it's visualizing in the form of his father. Peak. So much to work with there. How does he balance the desire to be a man with looking like the most evil man in your life? Trans Micheal kinda clears canon Micheal with that character arc.
