Macaque did accidentally coming out to MK And Wukong is now just laughing in background. As always

Continuation

Also, my funny story about my accidental coming out to my parents as a lesbian is under the cut lmao

I literally once accidentally come out to my parents as a lesbian because they asked me "What if your future boyfriend will cook you this for dinner? (I have EDs, and I just- couldnt eat) I dont want a boyfriend. Then what if your future girlfriend will do it?"

And then I was like "OH MY GOD" I was so flabbergasted tbh

Wukong, Gold Vision on: "Whoa! The soul is a boy!"

Macaque, who was just chilling and watching Monkey Cop: "...what?"

Estaba pensando en headcanons LGBT y ¿reencarnaciones? debio ser algo desconcertante al ver al bebe nacer con el cuerpo de una NIÑA cuando Wukong vio que su alma era el de un NIÑO, seria como el posible caso de Pigsy, además de ser descendiente de Zhu Bajie, es su reencarnación, reencarno en un cuerpo equivocado. Me puse a ver lo mas profundo del au y eso fue lo que se me ocurrió

translated via google;

"I was thinking about LGBT headcanons and reincarnations? It must have been somewhat disconcerting to see the baby born with the body of a GIRL when Wukong saw that her soul was that of a BOY, it would be like the possible case of Pigsy, in addition to being a descendant of Zhu Bajie, he is his reincarnation, he reincarnated in a wrong body I started to see the deepest part of the au and that's what occurred to me"

Reincarnation is a tricky process. Sometimes it's focused and a Soul can go from Body A to Body A2 easily, but other times its completely random/wild like a dice roll. Theoretically there is no "wrong soul/body" since nobody's in charge of where a soul decides to inhabit.

I think a bunch of works deal with people being the reincarnations of their anecestors, so Pigsy having Zhu Bajie's soul could be considered totally normal.

To Wukong's gold vision; MK's soul looks vaguely masculine, but he's born afab. Mei is the same in reverse (feminine, but born amab). Meanwhile Red's soul would appear as both feminine and masculine. Accidental gender radar.

It was probably a little confusing for Shadowpeach for MK to come out afab, but they wouldn't force any gender roles onto their kids.

I headcanon both Wukong and Macaque as trans, so it really isn't a problem for them. Odds are Monkey yao raise their kids gender neutral since their level of sexual dimorphism is so low.

The second MK and/or Mei come out as trans, Wukong and Mac already got the "It's a Boy/Girl!" balloons ready.

Past Shadowpeach my beloved

Yeah, SOOOO when I had a bath, a thought kicked into my mind. What if Macaque was biologically female, but after they discovered they were a shapeshifter, they decided to make few changes in their own body so they would feel more comfortable with it. And that they weren't in their true form for a very long time now. And only Wukong knows about it, because he met Macaque before Macaque discovered that they can indeed shapeshift

I feel like I’m missing something bc I’m sick, but in stone egg theory if a male sex stone monkey can get pregnant wouldn’t it be an other detail in which species’ sex binary/bimodality is different from humans’ one?

Well I hc that Stone Monkeys are pretty much intersex compared to other primates. I hc Wukong as being very trans-masc coded, so he just assumed he was born completely female due to his visable configuration.

Demons in general likely don't stick to the two options available to most humans/celestials.

My basic idea is that among demon and other supernatural species, its more accepted to be a *Trigram* of biological sex.

In traditional daoism, the straight line represents "Yang" and the segmented line "Yin". My idea is that Demons, Dragons, Spirits, and some Celestials have their biological sex/bimodality manifest based on a trigram.

It's not always that simple though; Think of the "Body Shape" slider in Saints Row 2 coming with preset sexes + a "no thanks" middle ground. Biological sex do be like a biased Quadrant spectrum of traits.

Wukong, being a physical manifestation of Earth/Kun aka Most Yin = his body presents as biologically female but ids as male/masc. Macaque in contrast, being a figure of Wind/Xun aka 1/3 Yin + 2/3 Yang = appears to be male-leaning intersex and ids as male-leaning nonbinary. And despite them originally believing that they were "weird" for their bodies/genders due to social influence from Heaven, its actually completely normal for their species.

Pretty much any Stone Monkey can produce a Stone Egg with enough determination and dirt - but it works "best" on an Earth/Kun-trigram Monkey. Those with sex trigrams in the opposing half like Heaven/Qian, Dui/Lake, and Xun/Wood-Wind would be more likely not to survive the process or carry an egg to term.

In short; humans are considered the weird ones for only recognising two whole sexes. Even the most hardass Celestials with heavy patriarchial and heteronormative leanings typical of the Chinese imperial age, atleast aknowledge that the rest of the six trigrams exist.
