#Im nonbinery myself so a world where being trans isnt even something to look twice at is a nice bit of escapist fanticy for me

[dyslexic-mess]

Much like many other characters from the same and other fandoms, fans like to headcannon sonic as trans.

Since male sonic characters dont tend to wear clothes, this sometimes includes drawing him with top surgery scars. i.e., the scaring left after a double mastectomy.

This is a well-worn path in fandom with most characters in populer fandoms having fanfictions or fanart that depicts them as trans.

As to the why, it varies. Sometimes, its projection from someone who is trans themselves that wants to see their identity reflected in a character they relate to. Sometimes, it can be someone's way of exploring the idea of being trans and everything that comes with it through the safe lens of fiction.

Sometimes, it's just for the fun of it! because that's what fandoms love doing! Exploring those wonderful 'what ifs' with their favourite characters. What if Shadows alian DNA had more of a physical effect on him? What if Knuckles still practises ceremonies from his tribe on his own? What if Manic and Sonia existed in the current cannon timeline?

What if Sonic was trans?

Y’all idk why but why do some of these Sonic au’s have Sonic with two scars *or something* on his chest?🤔 Someone Pls Explain!😕
