So I got a request to do trans! Tim headcanons and I haven't been able to since I was busy for awhile, but now the ask is gone?? Wut? But never fear I have a screen shot.
Before I do this I should mention that I am not at all an expert on the lives and hardships of trans people and have only gotten information on the topic through the internet, so if I do get anything wrong please let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Tim was born as Tabitha and always felt odd, it wasn't till after she was adopted that she realized that she was actually a he.
He knew his family was open minded and wouldn't bat an eye (get it) at this but for some reason he felt the need to keep it hidden for quite some time.
He came out first to Dick and Babs after a mission, it was filled with a lot of tears, hugs, "this doesn't change anything"s and "we love you"s. This was then followed up by them giving Tim some of Dick's old clothes and forcing him to try some of them on, he was grateful and all but.... These were clothes from between the scaly panties phase to the mullet phase and the in between was much much worse.
He then came out to Bruce less than a week later, it was alot easier because he'd realized all his previous fears were just paranoia. He took it well and the moment was filled with hugs.Later they sat down and talked through things like legally changing his name, surgery and hormones, dealing with transphobia and his dysphoria and getting a therapist to help him deal with it better.
He was quite worried about telling steph, they'd been broken up for awhile now but he still felt weird telling her, he got a hug followed by her saying this was worth celebrating and that they should totally, absolutely go get cake, that he should totally pay for because blah blah blah Stephanie wants free cake.
He kinda forgot to tell Jason and Damian for awhile but when he did this was the conversation that took place:
Tim: So yeah, what I'm trying to say is that I'm a guy and I'd like you guys to refer to me as such.
D: because you a guy? No because you are Drake? After I finish this training session I'll read you 50 of my top 100
J: the gender you identify has no effect on the the fact that you're a loser nerd goblin. You loser nerd goblin.
T: what did I do to deserve this.
These two dorks will fight anyone who makes fun of Tim that isn't them, especially if they are insulting his gender
Last to be told but first to actually know what Alfred, by this point it was pretty obvious and he wasn't trying to hide it or anything but the first time he confirmed it was when:
Alfred : would you like some tea miss Drake
Tim: actually I am a T.... As in from LGBT, eyyyyyy. Imma boi
Alfred: nevermind, that horrible pun means that you've forfeited the right to drink tea indefinitely, good day Master Drake.
Alfred: Would you like some T master Drake? *pulls out a testosterone shot*
Tim : WHO'S MAKING TERRIBLE T PUNS NOW BITCH?..... and yes, yes I would.
Alfred administers Tim's the shots and keeps him on schedule.
