Hi ^_^ I love ur headcannons so much!! Could I hear some of ur trans Roy Harper headcannons please? 🙏🥺
Of course (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧, these are some headcanons I have of Trans!Roy...
The name Roy had on his birth certificate was his paternal biological grandmother's.
Roy began identifying as a boy when he started living on the reservation.
Actually, Roy had a fairly supportive trans childhood; Brave Bow allowed Roy to express himself quite freely.
There was a specific label for trans people within the reservation where he lived. But because of language barriers, Roy couldn't express who he was until years later.
When Roy escaped from the reservation and lived inside the mall for a year, he realized it was easier to steal from people if he played the role of a "helpless girl."
He started using the name on his birth certificate after Oliver adopted him.
Roy didn't mind wearing feminine clothing, but he began to resent how people perceived and judged him.
Roy's chest began to grow considerably, so he started wearing a binder when he was Speedy. Although he wore it so his chest wouldn't get in the way when he used his bow, he felt a bit more like himself with a flat chest.
When Dinah and Hal helped him get into rehab, he heard stories from people like him in the same situation. Once he was discharged, he officially began transitioning at 19.
He chose the name Roy, not because it was his biological father's name, but because it was the name Brave Bow gave him.
In his last months as the drummer for Black Canary, in an attempt to look more masculine, he got a buzz cut. He didn't like the haircut, but he wore it for a couple of years until he had Lian.
When he got pregnant, he thought the symptoms were from the stress of his new job as an agent and the new hormone treatment. When he found out it was a pregnancy, he had to postpone his mastectomy.
The agency wouldn't give him maternity leave until he was six months pregnant and had an accident at work.
He had a mastectomy when Lian was 2 years old
Of Roy's tattoos, only three were done consciously: the diné tattoo on his arm, the tattoos over his mastectomy scars, and the tattoo over his cesarean section scar.
