ok, hear me out, ftm Dean, but John was too drunk to remember Dean was ever Deana, and Sam was too tiny to.
Like seriously, imagine little four year old Deana seeing how horrible her father is and noticing the sexism, and just being a genius about it and transitioning.
Dean would cut his hair short and he'd do it often, he'd get rid of any proof that he has ever been in a dress or a skirt, and the only reason he isn't helpful with monster research is because he's focused on puberty research, and he'd start testosterone just a little too early and people might even laugh at the change in him.
Dean would do everything to keep up the act.
But is it really just an act now? Well, I think not.
