#so they explain it to him and then hes like Ohhhh im trans too btw.

shadow wouldn't be homophobic or transphobic obviously but he was also born on a space station completely separated from earth society and then was asleep for 50 years so i dont think he would be super knowledgeable on lgbt stuff either. i think he would have to have the concept of transgenderism explained to him even though he himself is trans and already transitioned a long time ago

#i imagine sonic or rouge would casually mention being trans and shadow would be like. Wtf is that. #so they explain it to him and then hes like Ohhhh im trans too btw. #he would also have to have the concept of being gay explained to him even though hes literally gay #my opinion on shadow's gender is that gerald originally intended for shadow to be a girl #but as soon as he was introduced to the concept of gender he was like Ummm im a boy actually #so they let him transition but he also didnt know what trans meant he just did it unprompted #and once he started living on earth he would learn what nonbinary means and decide he is also nonbinary #maria is still the one who named him btw. normally i would say all the sonic characters chose their own names #but i am obsessed with that one sonic channel comic that said maria was the one who named shadow while he was still in the tube
