Okay so. If his family is super aggressively transphobic like that I could see them telling doctors that they don't know what happened, but there's no way that that's really why he hurt himself and totally denying any potential blame towards them for what he's going through.
Medically... I feel like in my 'verse at least, most doctors would try and fix as much damage as possible regardless of his consent and ignore him.
I think as far as how he handles everything after... I could see him having a lot of guilt, worsening depression and anxiety, trauma responses going forward when he has ruts in the future, and a *lot* of pain. Both for lack of acceptance by most of society and the mental pain, but also just the sheer amount of physical pain. In my 'verse I actually have an alpha who's... Definitely somewhere along the lines of dynamic non-conforming? On one hand he's at peace with being and alpha and treated as such, but he also can be really submissive, almost never finds himself attracted to omegas (and when he is, they're very dominant omegas who don't like buying into societal standards for what's acceptable for omegas), and very much prefers alpha partners and wants to be able to physically carry and birth his own pups.
And at one point, around, say... I think he would've been 16 or 17, his alpha he was courting is the crown prince of her country and is a couple years younger... He presented a bit late, and always being not... Not a pushover, but just... Preferring to step back and let others take charge. His first rut... The palace guards dragged him to an unfamiliar room, told his alpha he wasn't at the palace and that he's an alpha so she had to denounce him and publically revoke her courtship, and then forced him to watch the public broadcast as she did so. While he was in his first rut presenting. And scared, and confused, and begging for his alpha. It was only three weeks later that the prince found out and she was horrified. He hated being an alpha at first, but eventually he grew into it, and leaving their extremely conservative home country, he was able to learn that there's such a thing as being a more submissive alpha, and that that's okay. That he didn't have to be some big strong confident military leader type to be an alpha. And then... Fast forward to when he was about thirty, with a younger omega mate, and she was pregnant... He realized and started to really accept that there's things he desperately wants still, that as an alpha was physically impossible.
Their living situation, and how pack dynamics work in my work, he also has an alpha mate. A few years later, when a hard to get into trial opened for transdynamic amab alpha presented people, his pack leader (his prince and first alpha) fought really hard and ultimately paid his way in. He did meet all the criteria, it was just a lot of work to prove how much he really needed it. Ultimately, she gave them enough funding to have the resources necessary to include one more person than they were able to originally...
And it worked. It took two years for all of the hormone therapy and surgeries (he elected to keep his anatomy externally the same, so he did have a few less surgeries than most of the others did) to make it possible, and his pack leader paid a lot of money to get him also included in a genetic study making ovum from a male alphas DNA, and for him to undergo artificial insemination so he could have pups that are completely genetically his and his alphas. However, a fee more years of hormones and his body could potentially grow some organs that would allow that to not be necessary in the future. Really the big thing in the study he's in, was seeing the rate of developmental changes on hormone therapy, and surgically creating a uterus. Or well, the space for a uterus. It gets into a lot of weird biology things there but.
I like the idea of society working on progress, especially medically in what can be done for amab alpha presented transdynamic people, and there being more and more opportunities available for them to be who they really are
I also really like the idea of even without the surgeries, hormone therapy eventually being able to lead to at least pseudo-heats being a thing.
Because the hormones in my AU have to do a lot with actually how puberty developes and how some reproductive things happen, specifically in amab folks. Afab folks don't really do any growing or development of reproductive organs. Female alphas are the only dynamic identifiable at birth.
It's a generally accepted standard that everyone in most western countries get their children genetically tested at some point to know their dynamic before they present. (The home country for my alphas does not allow this for anyone working or living in the palace or in the royal family. General public can, but rarely does.)
But where afab bodies don't grow extra organs, alpherone and omegarone levels do cause organ growth and development for amab bodies. For amab omegas, the process is generally much longer and often has more pain and discomfort, which is one sign that an amab person will present omega
That said... Even someone who presented alpha, or omega, could, given enough time on hormones, grow the right reproductive organs.
Mostly. For an amab trans alpha it's a lot less significant of body changes, and they do need to go on really strong heat suppressants to keep heats completely away. But for a trans omega the older they are, the less likely they are to go through a full body change, and without a couple surgeries they won't ever be able to get rid of their knot. But they almost all will get to a point where they have at least pseudo heats, if not full heats, but if they're someone who's well past the age of growing like my soft boy is they may over time grow proper ovaries, and fallopian tubes, but the lack of elasticity overall internally because they've finished growing, means most won't ever be able to fully develope a functioning uterus, the space simply isn't there and muscles and organs are fully settles in the places they've grown and can only move so much.
Hence the trial study program to look into surgeries to make the space, or transplant, a uterus.
But, if they start hormones while they're still growing, they may, in about 4-6 years, have a fully functioning omega reproductive system.
But, I like to think that your alpha in this situation, would have resources pretty widely available, even if they're not all really accessible until he's older or until he can get his parents to consent to him having access to hornone therapy
I also kinda likethe idea of his parents refusing to acknowledge why he hurt himself at first
But after a few weeks starting to see exactly how much this has all hurt him
And trying to be more accepting and understanding and reaching out to him
And taking him in to start hormone treatments while he is still young, to give him the best chance possible at being himself and being able to fully transition.
And taking him to scent gland specialists and helping him get treatments to try and at least minimize the scarring
And maybe return some, even if minimal, scent production.
And like, idk your worlds theoretical biology but in mine there's like... Thirty two to thirty six scent glands. Yes the 13 most used for various bonds are the strongest
But I feel at some point he'd have passed out and someone would've checked on him and panicked and called 911 bc their kid is really bloody and hurt and holy shit
And that he likely wouldn't have completely destroyed all of his scent glands?? Maybe some of the ones on his neck and maybe a few on his hip? Or the ones on his wrists?
Also on omegarone he would grow four more, albeit in his legs and not somewhere you would typically bond mark.
And I feel like, if nothing else, specialists who dor work on severely scarred scent glands would at least be able to minimize scarring, and possibly kinda... Revive one or two of the main bonding glands, although that process can be painful
But in my world it's something doctors have unfortunately needed to develope procedures for for omegas
Bc of omegas getting attacked and forcibly marked.
And so idk that they'd be able to anything beyond minimizing scarring at first
But once he's been on hormones long enough
They would be able to attempt to. And while that's not guarantee... It is a fighting chance.
I like to also think he gets into some good, trauma informed, gender and dynamic affirming therapy. Because that will be so important for him
Now I really just want to
OH MY GOD WHAT IF HE WAS IN ONE OF MY ALPHAS FIRST CLASSES HE TAUGHT WHEN HE STARTED TEACHING AS A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER
He'd hear about the incident from Myrah, and omega packmate and longtime childhood friend who's a nurse at the hospital.
And listen to how she described the kid and his parents and be absolutely mortified that a parent would treat their child that way (but also know firsthand exactly how cruel the world can be)
And immediately decide he need to go do a volunteer day in the heat/rut ward and go be there as a support for him
And then he sees his parents and who he is and is absolutely heartbroken because that was one of his pups
And one of his first, at that, because he always sees his students as his pups and treats them as such. (Within some reason. Like, he doesn't scent other peoples kids unless they're distraught and need calmed and like. Y'know, there are boundaries there with that sort of thing.) And he will defend them all with his life.
Oh boy he is far from aggressive but also he will protect with his life. And I could totally see him verbaly laying into them, taking a few minutes to calm and compose himself so his scent doesn't scream aggression and he can work on getting those comfort pheromones going.
Ordering a nurse to bring him a nesting kit or so help him he'll go grab two himself to get that poor pup comfortable and feeling safe.
And then suggesting to his parents that if they want to be of any use they should be fetching his favorite food and drinks and maybe something he had as a comfort toy or a comfort blanket he'd had as a little kid that's been stored and something scented by them or by close friends to help relax him
And then Tara would just charge into the little omegas room comfort pheromones as strong as he can manage on command
But also spraying the room down with some scent neutralizer to neutralize his rut scent, and putting scent blocker patches on ever uncovered scent gland and wrapping a self adhesive bandage around them.
And then moving the bed to the far wall and getting the nesting base set up
And asking if he needs some help building his first nest
And eventually calling for his pack mate and asking her to bring a couple bags of the scented things from the omegas with her when she comes in for her shift
In hopes that comforting fellow omega scents would be relaxing
And grinning widely and kissing her cheek when he sees that she's also snuck in a new bottle of the omega scent enhancer he likes on days he's really not feeling quite as alpha
And overall he just sits there to be a comfort and help him to whatever extent he wants (non-sexually. He also steps out of a the room momentarily when those moments come but he's quick to go back in once he's done, and help keep him cleaned up and change out his scent suppressants and try to keep him as comfy and pampered as possible.)
He also may or may not have a lot of experience helping young people around the age I imagine he probs is (like, early highschool-ish??) get through ruts and heats bc of his adopted twins
So he's totally unfazed by it all even when moments come by and like, he won't let go of his hand or doesn't want him to leave
He'll stay and maybe run a hand through his hair and croon gently to try and keep him a bit more relaxed, but also turn away for some semblance of privacy.
Bc he totally understands the need to have a comforting presence near, but also the embarrassment often felt, esp by young people, over having someone who was platonically helping them through a heat or rut having seen and/or heard them in those moments.
So at least in turning away while that doesn't stop his ability to hear, it allows him to have some privacy as he takes care of things.
Also tara is most definitely also massaging his back and shoulders every now and then to keep him from getting too tensed up and yes he does indeed use the omega scent enhancer lotion as he does so.
Bc while it's not the same as being on hormones, he knows from experience that it can help give his own scent more a tinge of omega and mask a bit of the more obviously alpha bits
Esp with how thorough Tara is being at keeping the small, hurting boys rut scent as neutralized as he fucking can. Bc that poor boy, that boy he knew as a sweet little pup, has been through enough pain and yeah between scent gland damage and scent blocker patches being changed no less than every other hour there isn't much of his rut scent about anyways... If he can use neutralizer wiped and spray to all but completely remove that scent from the room he will do it. And will not take kindly to anyone ordering him not to.
He will also most definitely provide snuggles if asked. He will never turn any hurt and scared pup wanting snuggles away. Especially not one of his.
And I imaging when it's all said and done our poor sweet little omega would likely be kinda embarassed he just let himself be pampered and taken care of by his kindergarten teacher.
But Tara will here none of it, and make him promise to call or text if he ever needs any help, or feels unsafe, or needs nesting supplies. He may also have his pack alpha outside when the boy gets discharged with a big SUV full of what she deems necessary minimum nesting supplies.
And informs his parents that she's a sheriff and works directly with the omega welfare division. And that if she hears there's any reason to believe they've caused harm or neglected his needs as an omega that she'll be knocking.
And asks if their vehicle has space and if they know how to help him set up a nest base and make his nesting space.
Or if they need help with any of that.
Her and Taras chats with them may be part of what gets them heading in the right direction towards acceptance of their omega son.
I feel like at first they'd defs just be backing off of being super unaccepting to not like. Get reported to child and omega services (if they somehow weren't already)
As they see how much better he's doing being allowed to be an omega. To be himself.
And getting therapy for his trauma.
They start to grow more accepting after the first few weeks.
Looking at how their negligence and transphobia literally drove their pup to harm himself so severely. (Bc I'd like to think these aren't totally soul-less evil parents. More uneducated and not understanding and therefore refusing to accept. Or scared of the social stigma and how that could affect him while not having realized their lack of acceptance has so far done more harm than a strangers ever could.)
And seeing how, while he's still very much still deeply hurt and struggling, he's also a little more balanced and able to get relaxed and calm himself a bit better, now that they aren't forcing their way in and refusing to allow him to be the omega he is.
And I'd like to think they start doing more research, and maybe even reaching out to Tara?
I feel like over the course of his rut when tara would step out for privacy he'd at least talk at his parents, sharing how much society had harmed and shaped his view of himself, but how really it was the betrayal and unacceptance of those closest to him that hurt him the most.
And how his packs support when he was struggling literally made the difference between life and death sometimes. Because he had no support anywhere else. And how much it hurt that his family turned him away and abandoned after the crown guard and royal advisors had betrayed him the way they did.
And yeah it's kinda passive aggressive of him to share every harmful, hurting, part of his past, he also really wanted to get it into their heads that how they react and their support or lack thereof from that point forward would likely quite literally make or break their son.
And I could see, after sharing all of that trauma and struggles around his dynamic (timeline-wise for him this would make sense being just before going into the trial study.), would give them a place to contact him and ask how they can help, to not make their pup hurt even more.
And to ask him questions on things they don't know.
And hell, some he won't even have answers for! And it'll be things he's researching and exploring with himself because while he no longer really feels he's meant to be or is an omega, he definitely acknowledges that he's not always fully alpha.
Eventually he'll discover it's totally a thing to be dynamic-fluid just how people can be gender fluid.
And that'll be when it all kinda clicks into place for him.
And he'll do all he can to answer questions and get them resources, and walk them through getting him on hormone therapy and explaining why it's so important they do that as soon as they can because while he's still young and growing, he has a way higher chance of fully growing and developing the right reproductive organs. And explaining different options regarding external anatomy and their potential options there, and telling them to really make sure to take hum to see a specialist sooner than not, because the scarring and scar tissue could impact options and results.
Wow anon I'm totally realizing exactly how long this has gotten and how far off of what you're original ask was.
My brain just latched onto the idea of Tara realizing that one of his pups was hurt and that it was for reasons that literally could've been entirely avoided and how he'd react and jump in and get the oack involved to help him, and help and support his parents. Because it can be a lot totally learning about something you don't really know about beyond media stereotypes and social stigmas. And ofc he'd help support his parents if they reached out wanting help and wanting to learn.
The whole pack would. Oh? Our most recent honorary pack addition has had a rough week and therapy was awful and he's not doing well?? Hold up, are y'all dragging him here or are we coming there bc this calls for a snuggle pile and ice cream.
Anyways anon, I hope you see this, actually I'll probs submit the link to this reblog to seeks so she can share it to give it the best chance of reaching you...... But uhhhh yeah. My brain went wild. If you like where I've gone with this, I'm happy to keep adding more like. Feel free to send me asks I am totally down to exoand upon this, literally any time.
