Currently obsessed with the idea of Whitaker essentially not realising he's a *trans* man. Despite being born female, he's always been up for rough and tumble with his brothers, getting his knees dirty making mud pies, and running around after cattle. His family weren't phased that their daughter grew up to be a man. That was just how it went sometimes. Nobody in their sheltered community had much to say about it. That was just Dennis, the Whitaker's boy. They'd scold him for being boisterous in church, not for sinning. Furthermore, his genitals didn't have any impact on his career, so it was never mentioned in any of his placements across Pittsburgh. That's just how it is for everyone, cis and trans folk alike. He might have to cram a couple pills in during a particularly bad period, but guys are notorious for their shitty pain tolerance anyway.
This was all fine and dandy until Santos went to the bathroom at 4am, to find whitaker casually shaving. Topless. With the meatiest rack she's ever seen on a man. Whitaker is very confused by her reaction.
