This was requested forever ago and I finally finished it
This is more written to the ftm or ftnb experience cause that's what I'm more familiar with but anyway can enjoy! Though I do mention boy ones
Also! For more "boys reacting to binders" check out my friends post! (Fictional babe fluff hours) Has a longer one and I was inspired for some of this by them! She's super talented so go check her out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm trans..."
Percy
- He blinks for a few seconds
- Like you can seeeeee the gears turning in his head
- "Oh okay"
- Pretty much goes back to what he was doing
- Jk but he doesn't make the biggest deal of it
- At the time
- Ones you come out to his parents
- The next time you come over
- Expect a cake
- "Congrats on coming out!"
- With your name and pronouns on it
- He's just very proud of you
- And great full for you telling him
- If you ever feel dysphoric he's there to help
- Legit anyway he can
- You also mention ones needing a binder
- And he goes "I have binders at my house. Do you want some? Would they make you feel better?"
- You explain to him that it's a different type of binder
- He then proceeds to look down at his OWN chest and press his hands against his pecs
- Trying to imagine how a binder would work
- But he always has a hoodie for you
- Like everywhere
- Normally smells like him cause he was wearing it
- He at first didn't set reminders for your binder
- Mostly cause he didn't know
- But he somehow always finds a place for you to change your binder
- HE JUST REALLY LOVES YOU. OKAY?
_____________
Jason:
- bby boy wasn't fully exposed to this type of thing
- Growing up with wolves do that to you ig
- So just have like a sit down talk and explain
- Eventually gets it
- He's a smart cookie
- Probably doesn't think about a pronoun and name change so you'll have to tell him
- He does the best he can to be supportive!
- He doesn't slip much, the max is like a few days he does ones in a while but after like 5 days or doesn't happen anymore
- Feels very bad after
- Again you'll have to explain dysphoria
- Even after you explain he doesn't understand so he doesn't separate research
- This caused him to do research about binding
- Safest ways to bind, best binders, things like that
- Including binding tape!
- So you can train and still bind!
- Buys it for you
- And a normal binder
- Just to be safe yk?
- He sets alarms on his phone for your binding limit
- Has alarms reminding you to drink water
- If it's to hot...
- I'm sorry to say he probably will be like "please don't bind. It's not safe today"
- But will get you large shirts
- He may be a bit confused but he's trying!
_____________
Leo:
- Leo is scatter brained
- "Umm what?"
- legit just didn't process what you said
- Don't take his second question as him not accepting you!
- I see him as know a lot about this topic
- Probably more than any one else in the HOO gang
- Foster care kid who was tossed around a lot
- He was probably exposed to lgbtq+ stuff from an early age
- He hugs you
- Tons of kisses all over your face
- Immediately asks your name and pronouns
- When you tell him he even makes you a custom name and pronouns pin!
- He also makes himself one
- And the rest of the seven
- And like legit all his friends
- So it's more normalized yk?
- He wants to make you as comfortable as possible
- He gets out of training all the time! So if you don't feel like training cause you're feeling too dysphoric...
- You go to bunker 9!
- He's also probably pretty aware of binders already
- Doesnt to exact logistics
- But he knows there's a time limit to wear them!
- So he builds you a mini alarm clock thing
- You can put it on your pocket and it goes off 20 minutes before you're at your binding limit (no one tell him about watches)
- He's also really good at comfort
- He's such a good boyfi
_____________
Nico:
- honestly I don't think he fully knew what being trans was
- You probably need to explain it to him ones or twice so he can fully understand it
- He'll have lots of questions and will only ask if you're comfortable
- He isn't sure if he should ask you if you changed your names and pronouns so you probably have to tell him naturally
- He is fully supportive tho
- He asks you some questions and doesn't push you to answer them at all
- Now for binding-
- When you first start wearing them around him he's a bit confused
- "Ummm...is something different?"
- There is something different
- But he can't put his finger on it
- Please tell him
- When you tell him he's all like
- "Oh yeah! What's that?"
- So again you answer his questions
- And when he finds out about safely binding he goes HARD
- Keeps an alarm that's 7.5 hours. (Leaving enough time to find/go to a place to take off the binder)
- Carries water
- If he sees you're over-binding he's gonna try to tell you to stop in a nice way
- V supportive bf
_____________
Frank:
- he knows a little bit about lgbtq+ stuff
- Like he knows enough
- Not a whole lot
- Just cause he wasn't super duper exposed you know?
- But ones you come out-
- THE MOST CHEESY MF
- you know how Percy made you a cake
- He also made you a cake...and threw you a gender reveal party-
- "What if I threw you a gender reveal part? Jk...unless-"
- He would correct anyone that used the wrong pronouns or name for you
- Probably more then you do
- Doesnt take much time for him to adjust
- He would also go shopping with you to buy more gender affirming clothes
- He would also by you binders
- And do a shit ton of research about them
- He's also a pretty big dude so you're like
- "I'm feeling disphoric :("
- Boom. Hoodie
- Right over your head
- If you need comfort
- Boom. He is now your favorite animal
- Go to some private spot and play
- Or a fluffy animal and take a nap
- He is also there 10000% of the time If you need reassurance
- If you guys are just hanging out he'll carry around water
- And your favorite snacks
- In his own words "snacks make people happier"
- He also carries around a towel in the summer
- Cause of sweaty binding
- Ew
_____________
Will:
- so supportive
- Immediately asks if you're changing your name, your pronouns all that jazz.
- Even offers to take you to get your hair cut if you want a more gender affirming haircut (If you don't have one yet)
- I Lowkey think he'd be really good at cutting hair so he might even offer to cut it
- he will also keep tabs on your binder timing
- Like how long you've been wearing it, what you're doing that day (training)
- If you're feeling dysphoric and can't take it off (cause of training) he will write you a doctors note so you can stay with him
- If you're okay with him touching you he will and he'll tell you how handsome he thinks you are
- If you're okay with him kissing your like chest area he'll leave little kisses on your chest and tell you how valid you are no matter what
- He'll also keep a large hoodie with him so he can give it to you when you need it
- If it's your or his is your choice
- He also keeps sports bras with him for you
- And water
- If you're wondering where he keeps all this stuff
- He carries around a tote bag
- He has a little pronoun pin! (He/they Will lives in my brain rent free)
- Anyway
- Depending on what you like he'll call you a gender affirming nick name
- "My pretty boy"
- Stuff like that y'know
- Sweet boyfriend. Love him so much Imma cry now

Magnus: (after meeting Alex)
- his reaction is pretty calm
- Overall it's "oh okay :)"
- Asks your name and pronouns
- He already understand what being trans is
- I don't think he would know about dysphoria is though
- After explaining it he's like ":0 noooooo"
- he doesn't want you feeling uncomfortable in your own body!
- he tries his best to comfort you anyway he can
- But comfort isn't his...thing
- So he tries to make you laugh!
- He'll even...listen to Jack sing if it means getting your mind off it
- He loves you a lot
- He also didn't know what binding was
- I mean his main influence into the world of transgender was Alex
- And Alex doesn't need to bind
- So when you mention binding hes like "??????"
- Since he's you know...dead he doesn't really have money to BUY a binder
- So starts doing odd jobs for Blitzen when he can
- He thinks he's being sneaky but when he looks for binders he asks you your size
- Pretend to be surprised okay? He's trying his best!
- But overall he's a bit clueless
- But he goes to Alex and asks what he can do to make you more comfortable
- He does care a lot about your binding but he's also like "we're dead so-"
- Don't be like Magnus follow your binding limit
_____________
Hearthstone: (this is after meeting Alex)
- hearth just looks at you for a sec
- Then kinda just goes
- Oh alright, sweetheart
- He also asks your new name and pronouns
- If you don't wanna tell anyone else yet he'll ask if you want him to use your ok'd name and pronouns around the others and he will
- But while you're alone he does tell you he sees you as who you are
- He also tries hard with Blitz to make you clothes that'll make you feel more comfortable
- He's not...great
- But hopefully you're only looking for baggy clothes cause that's what he can make!
- If not...he'll just ask Blitz
- Even offers to work extra hours
- He also gives you his scarf
- It probably can't help with your dysphasia but he just thinks you look cute
- He gives you his jacket if you need it though
- For binding...he wouldn't use a timer
- Obviously
- He would just try to memorize when you put on a binder
- If he can't he'll ask someone else
- Not cause he doesn't trust you...just in case
- Sometimes you see him staring at you and you're like "bruh what??"
- And he's just like
- You're so amazing
- Dies
- On the spot
- He looks so genuine-
- If he finds out someone is being rude to you
- Especially a friend-
- He'll be super cold to them
- Not much he can do really tho :(
- He is super good at reassurance
- Kisses
- Lots and lots of kisses
_____________
Alex: (she/her for this)
- fully understands
- Y'all would probably share your experiences with finding your identity
- If you're having trouble with something she'll explain her own experience with the thing you're struggling with
- You legit need to explain nothing to her
- Of course If you want to you can
- Would ask if you're changing your name and pronouns and immediately while you're gone would start practicing to use them (I love her so much it hurts)
- Legit will beat anyone if they mock you or misgenders you on purpose (not me attack someone for misgendering my old friend)
- If you ever need to explain something you're feeling because you're unsure, Alex will be there to listen
- Though it doesn't matter as much since y'all are dead she would still suggest not wearing a binder during training
- Alex doesnt peg me as the type to just talk about feeling dysphoric
- Mostly cause she can shape shift
- I don't think she suffers form dysphoria just cause she can shape shift but doesn't
- But will talk when you need it
- If you skip training cause you can't not bind she'll skip with you
