My second contribution to #lesmistransweek with my favourite trans headcanon!

Happy Les Mis Trans Week!  To celebrate, here’s Non-Binary!Jehan and Trans!Enjolras comparing the shirts their boyfriends made them for Pride! (Enj’s banner is ‘Fuck the Binary’ in binary)

“And when the sun rises, I’ll be miles away from here, and my side won’t hurt, an I can cut my hair, bind my chest, and call myself, Enjolras. And no one will fucking stop me. No one.”

From Enjolras Rising 

It’s @lesmistransheadcanons week and I’m in love with all trans headcanons. Chopping all your hair off can be so liberating. I’ve always thought about how Enjolras probably had really beautiful long hair, but it a fit of rage at being misgendered for the 1800000th time, he cut it all off. That shit can be really emotional, but in the end it’s so fucking worth it.

September is here!

The second Les Mis Trans Week will happen this September, 16-22. All headcanons and fanworks of all kinds (fanart, fanfic, edits, podfics etc) including any of the Les Misérables characters as trans (including nonbinary characters headcanons). This is a project to spread positivity and to give to the trans/nb people in our fandom more love and representation. All posts must be tagged as #lesmistransweek or #les mis trans week or #les mis trans week 2019.

Created by: @petit-alouette, @bewarethefaeries and @queerfave. 

Any questions, just contact one of us.

Rules:

- All triggering topics (such as dysphoria or prejudice) must be properly tagged.

- NSFW fanwork is allowed, but must be properly tagged as well.

- Any forms of fanwork is allowed, but it must focus on a trans character.

- Any character can be included.

- Non-binary people are trans too, all non-binary headcanons are obviously allowed and included.

- If you’re curious if something accurately represents trans people and doesn’t harm them (ie stereotypes), ask one of us if it’s okay before posting, not after.

-  If you don’t think x character is trans, don’t look at trans content for x character. Respect other people’s headcanons and works. Last year everyone was very nice about other people’s works, let’s make 2019 nice as well.

- Don’t use the week tags for discourse or hate on any artist, blog or headcanon. The tags are for the fanworks and appreciation only. 

- Romantic fanfictions are allowed, as long as at least one the characters involved in the ship(s) is trans, because this week is about them.

- It’s ok if you headcanon a character as a different gender from which they were presented in the Brick, as long as the character is still transgender (ie trans woman Grantaire, trans man Éponine).

PS: We’ll keep posting stuff after the week ends, so don’t worry if you post things late this year. Our blog will be sharing fanworks during the rest of the year from now on.

Look who posted!

Finally got ready with my fic for @lesmistransheadcanons week! Yes, I’m late, I wanted to post another story, which is a bit longer, so I decided to write a totally different story and post that. I hope you will like it!

This is also in the same au I tend to write in these days, so if you want to know more, read this post and the previous installments (not necessary, but it would make me - and possibly you - happy)!

Les Mis Trans Week 2019 – Les Amis Headcanons

Enjolras (he/him/his) is openly and proudly out as a transman, even before he starts Les Amis. He has started socially transitioning since his teenage years, with full support from his childhood best friends Combeferre and Courfeyrac.

A few months after Enjolras tells his best friends he’s trans, Combeferre (she/her/hers) also comes out – first to herself, then to Enj and Courf not long after. Enjolras is in the process of trying out names, so he and ‘Ferre decide to switch names for a while. The names don’t stick, but it is a weird month where Enjolras answers when people call ‘Ferre and vise versa. Eventually, they get fed up and decide to just go with their last names.  Courfeyrac does the same in solidarity because the poor baby still doesn’t know yet. When Les Amis starts, everyone picks up on it and it become their ThingTM.

Jehan (fea/fer/fers) is not the only non-binary person in Les Amis, but fea is the first to come out. This prompts other members to also come out or start questioning if they are really cis. There is a time where Les Amis starts every single meeting with someone - sometimes multiple people - yelling “Wait I have an announcement to make!” Long story short, none of them is now cisgender, and Marius is the token Cis FriendTM. 

Courfeyrac (he/him, she/her, they/them - depends on the day), who up until this point still identify as a gender-nonconforming cis man, realizes that oh my gosh I can be neither a man nor a woman? They have never felt like they fit neatly into either category. So, they pull Jehan aside after fea comes out. The two of them sit down together, have a heart-to-heart about gender identity, and Courfeyrac comes home and do a ton of research. Jehan sends them a [non-binary flowchart] – and even though following the chart doesn’t really help them find their identity, they also get the vocabulary to start reading up on different non-binary labels. So now we have a glittery genderfluid theater child who race across the gender spectrum in sparkly, neonlight-flashing heelys.  

Bossuet (he/him/his) has changed labels and pronouns four times in one month and still hasn’t found what fits him best. He is using he/him pronoun at the moment for the sake of convenience, but it doesn’t mean he likes it.  

Joly (ze/hir/hirs) is a demigirl. Ze leans toward the feminine side of the spectrum but doesn’t completely identify with womanhood. 

Grantaire says gender is fake and a social construct and uses no pronoun because I say gender is fake and a social construct and also use no pronoun.

Neutrois and Genderpunk Bahorel (ey/em/eir) who destroys gender norms everyday with perfect eyeliners and jean jackets, onto which Feuilly hand-embroils roses and daisies and lilies. Eir hands might be pretty with nails painted in shiny red and pink, but those same hands are also capable of punching transphobes black and blue.  

Feuilly (they/them/their) who everyone jokingly calls a straight-A person because they are aracial, aro-ace, and agender. (From [this fic] by Feyland)

Bonus:

Eponine (she/her or he/him) is a lesbian, with no gender description added. Her only connection to gender and/or womanhood is her attraction to woman. 

Cosette (xe/xir/xirs) is non-binary. Xe presents very femininely and is comfortable with how xe presents. Xe cringes everytime someone calls xe “she” or “ma’am” and gets slightly defensive when people seem to assume xe is cis. 

Musichetta (she/her/hers) comes out as a transgirl when her sister Combeferre comes out to her. The conversation goes something like this: “I’m a woman.” “Me too!?” They help each other figuring things out, go shopping for clothes together, and just generally be good siblings for each other. When Chetta comes out as polyamorous, Combeferre has an initial freak out session because holy patria her sister is dating? but ultimately supports her like the amazing sister and human she is.

Courfeyrac arranges for Grantaire to go on a date with Enjolras, and it honestly could not possibly go worse.
