My child Jaime, more often called Wednesday was AFAB and went through childhood just being fine identifying as a girl. Bit of a tomboy, definitely, but it wasn't until highschool that it started to occur to Wednesday that the way he felt about himself no longer jived with the way that the world saw/treated him. He went through a period of time thinking that it would help if he just...acted more butch, more masculine. He went through a bit of a questioning period in regards to his identity and settled, for the time being, on being an androgynous bisexual woman.

This helped, some, for a little while. After opening up and confessing some of his feelings of frustration to a friend, getting advice, looking up different terms, and reading people's personal experiences, Wednes - a freshman in college by this time - came to identity as a bisexual transman. His boyfriend at the time, Steven >:(, was not thrilled when Wednesday decided to open up about this. Said boyfriend proceeded to do a lot of gross shit to Wednesday - guilt him into staying female, be emotionally manipulative, and just in general being Not Good for my tiny son's well being.

This was, understandably, not a great time period in Wednesday's life. He went through a period of depression, was failing classes, and separating himself from friends. Worried about her child's health - thinking it was just being away from home for the first time that was so difficult on Jaime - his mom insisted he come back home for the summer break between his first year and his second. While he was home, Wednesday finally told his mom everything. Turns out having someone support you - even if they do not 100% understand everything - make A Huge Difference. Wednesday broke up with the piece of shit a couple of weeks later, via text message. Ditched the number, got a new one, and was able to fit into a nice therapist's schedule.

Steven was a really horrible experience and Wednesday doesn't like to talk about him. He's part of the reason Wednesday is/was (depending on where in the timeline we are) afraid to be close with other people, either sexually or romantically, but does work through it, with time and good people in his life to help.

Honestly this sort of turned into day nine+day twelve together but I still have plenty of other characters to fill for day twelve so No Worries.
