i ran into a fanartist on tumblr who headcanoned a character on trans and i got tired of them bringing up their trans headcanon all the time, mainly because the only way they brought it up was through the character mentioning his aching ribs which delayed his top surgery by a month. not picking out a new name, not dealing with hormones, just that one time he fucked up his ribs and had to have his top surgery delayed because of it.

the literal only way, all the time. he could be getting burgers with his friends and he's like 'yeah wow i couldn't eat burgers that one time i hurt my ribs and had to have my top surgery delayed'
