Ever since we learn Sonic is trans, I've been wondering:
Will someone be transphobic towards him or does your AU world have no transphobia at all? 🤔
It's not a trans focused fic so I'm planning to not to mention it unless something comes up that necessites it! It's just who Sonic is in my fic
Went on a small infodump abt gender expression and sexuality below! Starts with Sonic, widens afterwards to other characters!
ACiP Sonic is a transgender man, AFAB. He's had top surgery in the past. He is not taking hormones. He's pretty comfortable with who he is now. Most of his friends are aware he's trans, he doesn't hide it!
Characters who as it is right now know he's trans (that made an appearance): Amy, Tails, Vanilla, Cream. Rouge has an inkling about it. Shadow has no idea what trans means, he takes Sonic at face value - he sees a hunter, he's heard him refer to himself as he, therefore he rolls with it. He doesn't care much about gender.
Amy, Tails, and Vanilla has had known Sonic pre coming out as trans. And, yes, Amy is a lesbian. She thought Sonic was a woman when she was crushing on him. Part of the reason she never confessed was the fear of Sonic's sexuality.
Sonic is achillean bi. Trans man, as I explained.
Amy is a lesbian, as mentioned. Cis.
Shadow is gay. Doesn't care about gender labels (prolly agender).
Rouge is sapphic bi. Trans woman.
Knuckles hadn't experimented with his sexuality or gender at all.
Sourge hadn't experimented either. Questioning.
Starline is gay. Demiman.
Blaze is a transfem queergender lesbian.
Kids don't get sexuality assigned cus they're kids and I don't think it's important for em yet! Most of em are pretty young kids. Tails's gender is an exception cus I think he thought about it a lot through Sonic's gender journey!
I don't use different pronouns for the characters in the story cus I feel it'd make it confusing (saying as a multi pronouns user who actually had and still has a lot of ocs with multiple pronouns, it gets pretty rough when it's not an RP), however here's my pronoun headcanons below too!
Format: Name - preferred1/preferred2/preferred3 + neopronouns
Tails - any + kit/kits/kitself
Amy - she/they + fae/faer/faerself
Shadow - any, aside of it/its (doesn't care)
Rouge - she/her + vamp/vamps/vampself
Cream - she/her + bun/buns/bunself
Blaze - she/her + burn/burns/burnself
They correct to the first preferred pronoun when misgendered, share neos with people they trust! People who say all pronouns they use without gaining trust: Tails, Cream, Blaze.
The fanfic isn't focused on its queerness aside of the sonadow relationship, so queer tags are reserved only for stuff that I feel like need to be clarified not to queerbait anyone for topics that aren't there! If I find a suitable place to naturally mention any of it, I'll mention it.
It's my fictional world so we don't do queerphobia, atl not super bad one! The entire story of the werewolves can by itself be used as a metaphor for finding yourself if you squint hard enough so
Anyway I'm open to any questions that may arise!
