TRANS TOMMY TRANS TOMMY TRANS TOMMY TRANS TOMMY

Tommy had known for years. How he liked being muddy instead of playing with Barbies and dressing up in dresses. How he preferred overalls over skirts. How he wanted his hair cut so badly once it grew so long. By the time he was 14, he had taken the job of cutting his hair into his own hands. He had cut it all off in the bathroom, leaving himself with a very messy, but very successful haircut he had managed to do with an electric shaver and scissors. The back and sides of his hair were shaved, and his curly blonde hair remained on top, dangling just slightly into his face.
He remembered that day well. It was years ago.
Tommy was now 16 and fighting wars. Mental wars.
He was 10 when he found out his "friends" didn't support him
He was 12 when he isolated himself.
He was 14 when he cut his hair and got beat.
He was 15 when he started gathering scars
He was now 16, and was dealing with the internal conflict nobody should have to.
How would his new friends react?
His new friends were Tubbo, Eret, Dream, George, Sapnap, Skeppy, Bad, Wilbur, Techno and Phil. Phil, Techno, and Wilbur were really his family. Even if they weren't blood, they were closer than anyone else in the friend group besides Tubbo. Nobody could beat their friendship.
He was 16, and was coming out to the people he trusted most.
He told them all to gather to a call around 5 pm that day, after school or work or anything, and had prepared a small speech, or just a note card with little bullet points so he would know what to say.
He watched as they all filed into the call, and his breathing became uneven. He had to go on mute.  They knew him as Tommy. They knew him as the boy who was loud and over confident. What would they say if they knew this boy was born a girl.
He needed to calm down.
He's got this.
Deep breaths.
They're your friends! They'll definitely support you.
Okay.
He zoned back in and finally caught his breath, unmuting his mic.
"Okay, thanks for coming guys- I hope I didn't mess up your schedules or anything."
He sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"Don't be sorry Toms! It's okay. It seemed important since you didn't give us an explanation about what you wanted to talk about"
Phil hummed, his icon lighting up with the green border that signaled he was talking.
Tommy smiled just slightly before clearing his throat.
"Uh- so you all know me as Tommy. But um- u-uh-"
He muttered, trying to get the words out of his throat.
"iwasbornagirlsoyeahuhimtransgender"
He said quickly, before going on mute.
The others were silent before Tubbo spoke up first.
"Thank you Tommy"
That was all that was first said.
"What- h e h ? uh- for what?"
"For trusting us all with this information silly! It takes guts."
The others let out a hum of agreement or just a simple 'yep' or 'congrats' or 'thank you' as Tubbo did.
Tommy felt tears coming to his eyes and he couldn't help but sniffle. 
"I thought you guys were gonna hate me or something I dunno- I've never had this much support." He muttered.
Wilbur then spoke up. 
"Just make sure you don't wear your binder if you have one for more than 12 hours. It can damage your ribs Tommy." He spoke with a soft tone, and Tommy knew he wasn't mad. He couldn't help but smile like an idiot even if they couldn't see him.
"We all love you Tommy, for whoever you are. You're important to us, don't forget that bud" Techno spoke up as well before going back to mute.


It's been five weeks since Tommy came out to them
Tommy was 10 when he knew who he wanted to be
Tommy was 12 when he went through a battle no kid should have to.
Tommy was 14 when he took a step forward to becoming himself.
Tommy's now 16. 
Tommy is free to be himself.
He walked through the streets of his town, his hands in his pockets. Instead of wearing skirts or whatever girls wore (girls can wear whatever they want, he could care less.) He wore what he felt comfortable in. Whether it be ripped jeans to just normal shorts. 
He did have a feminine figure, but he figured that the surgery would fix that as soon as he got enough money. He made his way back to his house, only to find a package in the doorway. He rose a brow when he saw that it was addressed to him and took it inside, going into his room to open it.
He tore off the tape that was holding it closed and carefully reached inside.

In the box was a picture of all his friends minecraft skins crouching in front of a big red heart. He felt his heart swell with joy, before he saw one more thing in the box.
He reached inside, only to be met with an envelope. He tore it open, to find a note from Phil.
'We know it can be hard , but it'll get better. We support you fully buddy. Also, don't send the money back. We all pitched in to collect it. Love you, Phil.'
Tommy smiled, until he saw the part about money, and was a bit confused before he saw a check. A check. That's MONEY. Tommy's hands were shaky as he grabbed it and read the amount, his eyes widening. On the small subtitle of the check, there was something written.
'you get that surgery. be yourself :) <3"
Tears quickly came to his eyes as he dropped everything and brought his hands to cover his mouth, letting out a breathy chuckle, the tears starting to stream down his cheeks. He quickly picked the stuff up and grabbed his phone, getting into the group chat they all were in.

Tommy did indeed get the surgery. He posted the process on his Twitter and Instagram and got a shit ton of support which he was happy about. No more dysphoria. Now all he had were two scars on his chest, reminding him of his journey.
Besides. 
It's Tommy.
And Tommy was a man.
