CW: Transphobia/Implied Transphobia, inner transphobia
A Splinter-centric comic?? In MY TMNT:HME?? More likely than you think.
All jokes aside, the reason this is just a sketch is because the au ain't about him and his struggles :/ sorry Splinter, but I'm trying to be less apologetic about your behavior so you get the sketch treatment
Anyway, I mentioned previously that Mikey has heard Splinter cry after one of these interactions and this is why. The other reason is that he has pretty bad anxiety and is constantly worried about what Leo is putting into his body - despite the fact that Leo hasn't started testosterone SPECIFICALLY because of how secretive he'd have to be :/
Splinter: omg it is literally just a phase, everyone wishes they could be the opposite sex >:(
