EVERYONE IS TRANS FUCK YOU AU
AWW YEEEAH I FINALLY WORKED THROUGH ALL THE PRECEDING ASKS AND NOW IM HERE!!!! FUK YEAH
disclaimer: i have a Complicated Gender™ and all of these headcanons are literally ripped from my different phases of questioning. so uh.. i don’t mean to offend anyone who is these genders (please tell me if i have!!!) and also cis people can just.. leave me alone.
all of clone club goes to high school together.
tony is tony. he’s pretty secure in his gender even if he doesn’t really come out at school Officially. all of his friends know, though.
delphine is a trans woman but doesn’t know until like… senior year. and even then she doesn’t come out. just to tony and her mom.
tony and delphine are are best friends until they start dating (BECAUSE IM GARBAGE DONT LOOK AT ME). then they’re the dream couple.
delphine and her mom take him in when his parents find out.
sarah is nonbinary. they don’t really like labels. they just kind of float around in the middle of the spectrum, sometimes more masculine and sometimes not.
cosima is a demigirl. she doesn’t really get dysphoria. it’s more of an intellectual thing. like she knows gender is made up so she can be whatever she wants to be whenever she decides to be. she plays with gender, like wearing a packer with a dress or a blazer with a lot of glittery makeup.
felix is gender fluid. he always uses the same pronouns but his clothes are what he expresses himself with.
shay is the only cis person. as they all start to come out, they watch her expectantly but she just.. doesn’t. if she gets drunk enough she’ll do her ‘transphobe voice’ (a horribly scathing impression) and read terribly formatted tweets with transphobic comments.
mrs. s and mrs. cormier are like.. the safe parents. tony’s folks are terrible. after delphine came out, mr. cormier showed his transphobia and got hit so hard with divorce papers his nose bled. cosima’s parents are loving but they just aren’t there enough to Get It, to be hip with the kids. so the manning household and the cormier house are the places to be. (i may also ship mrs. cormier and mrs. s. don’t fuCKINg look at me.)
they all go their separate ways to college.
tony and delphine break up bc they realize they want fundamentally different things out of life. they’re still best friends (with benefits other than friendship) but... they’re a little bit heartbroken.
delphine goes out after a while, trying to meet someone. it... has not gone well so far. she’s learned to have the “I’m Trans” talk in a public place so she doesn’t get yelled at. or the yelling is minimal.
she runs into cosima in a bar after one such conversation. she’s just nursing the last of her drink before going home to have a good cry when cosima slides across from her. “i couldn’t help but overhear. i’m so sorry, he is a colossal asshole and he doesn’t even deserve you. my name is cosima, can i buy you another one of those?”
delphine starts laughing. “yes, i know, cosima.”
and when cosima is like ??? wuH??? delphine says, “we went to high school together. we used to hang out at my house all the time.”
and cosima goes “WHAT! no fucking way. i didn’t even recognize you, what with the hair and the face. i’m assuming you don’t go by the same name. wait, why were you talking to that guy, where’s tony?”
and then they catch up. for hours. ‘til the bar closes. they promise to meet back up. they do. at the same bar. the next time they stay ‘til closing they don’t part ways.
thus begins the Softest most Bestest, Validating, Loving....... ugh.. i can’t even articulate it.
cosima mentions that she had an on-again off-again relationship with shay and that she doesn’t really know how to end it the next time shay wants to be on. and delphine is like.. why does it have to end?? bc she’s got a similar situation with tony when he’s in town.
and so shay becomes a regular part of their life. so much so they they just end up all together. they move in together really fast because it just works so well.
and when tony breezes in, delphine disappears for a couple of days to be with him. when she comes back shay asks how it was and all delphine can do is blush and giggle.
and through a series of events that i’m not quite sure how it goes, everybody else finds out about this polyamory thing. then a whole polycule starts. felix and tony are dating and tony and delphine are hooking up, and delphine is in a committed triad with cosima and shay, but sarah sometimes is with them. and it’s all just.. so soft. and polya. and trans. life goals tbh.
