trans masc kai pride month headcanons!
since he was a little kid, Kai's been pissed off with gender roles. he was given a pretty gender neutral name and it always disappointed him when people would correct themselves after they called him a boy. it felt right when people assumed Kai was a boy
he didn't actually know that being transgender was a thing since he wasn't that educated, so he just decided he would be a boy and never looked back
he practiced talking in a deep voice and eventually learned to naturally talk with a masculine voice. he wore men's clothes and Nya always called him her older brother, so eventually people didn't even know he was trans at all
when he joined the ninja, the topic of his gender didn't come up at all until they were in a period of no missions and the conversation ended up there. Kai was in awe that there was a name for how he felt and that there were a ton of people like him. he told Nya as soon as possible. they had a little celebration <3
he ended up also using they/them pronouns after meeting PIXAL who used them as well. he liked that it was more ambiguous and using he/they pronouns made him more comfortable in how he dressed especially
he's absolutely OBSESSED with the cheesy trans slogans like "be yourself, they'll adjust" or weirdly intense shirts with swords on them and trans colors
they love how annoyed people get when they walk in a room because everyone assumes "oh, buff guy in a muscle tank" and then they have like seventeen different pronoun pins on
he absolutely abuses pride month privileges 100% "MOVE I'M TRANS"
they started testosterone as soon as they figured out what it was. they use patches because the idea of shots made them nervous and they can't hug people if they use gel :(
he was extremely loopy right after his top surgery and the other ninja have so many embarrassing videos of him
he talks completely unashamedly about what testosterone is changing for him because he's too damn proud to shut up about it
after a long, long while they started letting their hair grow out more because while they really like it long, they didn't like the misgendering that came along with it. after being on t for so long and getting top surgery, though, they finally got comfortable with it again and rock a mullet most of the time :D
he basically became the trans-guru of the group. Lloyd comes to him whenever he gets gender dysphoria and they go clothes shopping. Kai lets him pick out whatever makes him feel good. Lloyd talks him into getting another crop top every. single. time.
