do tell abt the transfem shuichi hcs..
YAYEE!
Ok so i think she is a beast with a Lot of internalized stuff (mostly pertaining to herself) and she bottled it up for a Looooooong time. a lot of her depression and self-hatred/self-doubt comes from the dysphoria stuff! she also has a bit of an irrational fear that being transfem will lose her her career (this isnt smth shes thought abt consciously bcs logically she knows its not true since kyouko is a trans woman detective & doing just fine).
she figures at out one day in her mid-20s when shes at home sick and she tries on one of kyoukos bras "as a joke" and then kyouko comes home to her "husband" sobbing for no discernible reason. so she walks her thru it both logically and emotionally (kyouko has experience w this bcs as previously mentioned shes a trans woman) and helps shuichi come to the realization that she is a Woman.
theyve been married for a couple of years but still havent legally changed their surnames bcs its kinda expensive and they already have lots of legal stuff in their jobs, they dont want more paperwork + they cant rlly decide who should take whose. but in the end, post girl-realization, shuichi decides to take kyoukos surname since she already has to do a name change anyway so why not kill 2 birds with one stone? her preferred name is shiho (like the prsk character lol) although she seriously considered shiori and ichika for a while.
she is soooo much happier once she transitions! shes like a whole new person shes happy she frolicks she skirt spinny. shes a lot more confident in herself and her skills. she also didnt think she wanted to have kids when she was still in the egg zone, but after realizing shes a woman shes like "actually i DO want to have kids! i just want to be a mom not a dad"
uhhh thats abt it :3
