Trans Connor Rhodes
((Full disclosure, I am trans. Thankfully my father is way better than Cornelius Rhodes))
Looking back, you donât even know how it happened. One day you were quiet, because silence was safety. Only speak when spoken too. Donât say anything he wouldnât like. If you didnât say anything wrong, he couldnât make you pay for it. Sometimes he punished your silences. You were sullen and rude, werenât the kind of daughter heâd ever wanted. Girls were supposed to be easy to raise. Girls were supposed to take dance classes and blush around boys and dote on their fathers. Girls were supposed to wear makeup and dresses and have their soft, safe rebellions. Why couldnât you be more like Claire? You couldnât even blame it on your motherâs death, he told you. Your sister was still vibrant and lovingâwhy werenât you? After your mother died, after that terrible night with the roof, with your motherâs body in a pool of blood belowâyou were alone. You grew up stranded in the shadow of your twin, your father using his money to play at being a king. Sometimes he ignored your existence. Other times he made it hell.Â
You were never really meant for a quiet life.Â
You were seventeen when it happened, when you stopped being quiet.
Happened. As if it were a single event, and not the culmination of every thought youâd ever had, every moment your heart had spent beating. You had spent years moving through the world knowing who you really were, keeping it buried beneath all the masks your father handed you with his cruelty. Smile more. Wear makeup. Dance at his parties. The doting, dutiful daughter. Beneath the fancy clothes he bought you, beneath the makeup Claire did for you before parties, you werenât the kind of daughter heâd wanted because you werenât a daughter at all.Â
You were a son. That fact was laced through your blood, electricity that came from your very bones. You knew it every second. Youâd never doubted it once. You just didnât have the words to say it aloud.Â
You were so used to the dull ache of your heart, the way youâd never truly been happyânot even when your mother was alive. It was just life, you thought. You looked like a girl, so people treated you like one. It was just the way you were always going to be. Fine, but not happy. A secret boy whoâd never get the chance to live the way you were meant to. How were you supposed to find the words to unearth all of thatâto show it to the world? How were you supposed to be happy?
Connor. You chose your name on a Saturday night, pale moonlight streaming in through your open curtains. It was late, so late your father was asleep, but not late enough that your sister was back from her night out. Sheâd asked you to go, and the invitation had sat like a stone in your gut for the rest of the night. It was the first olive branch Claire had extended in a while, and you turned it down. Things had been weird between you lately, and you just couldnât face a night on the town with her friends. They all thought you were weird anyway. You and Claire werenât so identical anymoreâher with her long hair and short dresses, you with your oversized hoodies, you with your hair cut short.Â
You came out slowly, over time, until you came out all at once.Â
Years ago, you thought you might tell Claire first. If you ever told anyone, you thought it would be her, but the secret language you shared as children was gone, forgotten in a lost corner of your mind. You couldnât have conversations just by glancing at each other. You didnât spend evenings and weekends hiding from your father together. She hid with her friends, on nights out, at slumber parties. Night after night on couches across Chicago while you stayed quiet at home. You hid behind the locked door of your ensuite bathroom, headphones in, medical textbooks on the ground before you. Whatever you and Claire had shared, whatever tether the two of you had been born withâit was gone now.Â
In the attic, a few months back, youâd found a dusty notebook filled with your motherâs scrawl. You âd studied it as closely as you studied your textbooks, studied it until the passage that cracked your chest right open, that made you realise things didnât have to be this way. In the passage, your mother was pregnant. Twins, theyâd just discovered. According to this account, your parents were terrified but thrilled. You could barely remember your mother. You clung to thoughts of her smile, the memory of her sweet perfume as she leaned down to kiss you goodnight. You didnât like to think of her terrified, but you could picture it. Youâd seen it before. Youâd seen her real life terror, moments before her death. But you couldnât imagine your father being thrilled about anything. And in your mind, even though it was impossible, you knew that Claire was the baby theyâd planned and you were the twin. You were the one theyâd never expected.Â
Your mother had lists of names in the back of her journal, most of them starting with C, and you trawled through the boys names that summer. Cameron, Caleb, Christopher.Â
Connor.Â
In the end, you told them both at once. As soon as the words were out, you wondered if Claire would ever forgive you for the way you did it. As soon as the words were out, none of that mattered. Coming out wasnât a closet for you. It was like crawling out of your own grave.Â
This is how it happened.Â
Your father could be truly vile. It was something about a business deal, something about manipulating a potential investor at a party. Your father bought new dresses for the pair of you, low cut things that came halfway down Claireâs thighs. She pressed yours into your hands, your dress teal and herâs black, telling you how great youâd look together. Sheâd do your makeup. It would be like old times. You could see in her eyes that she was trying to claw back the person youâd never truly been, the sister who didnât exist. Your father made a comment about the investorâs sons, barely out of their teens, about how much they would enjoy the sight of a pair of stunning girls. If youâve got it, your father said, flaunt it.Â
âWhat if I donât want it?â You asked. âWhat if I donât want any of this?â
âCome on,â your father laughed. âIâve given you everything. What could you possibly want that I havenât already bought for you?â You steeled yourself, bit your tongue against the first response that hit you. I want my mom back.Â
âA suit,â you said, as if you werenât afraid, as if your hands werenât shaking at your sides. âIf you want me at your parties, I want to wear a suit. And I want you to call me Connor.â A long silence passed. The walls closed in around you. Your father looked from you to Claire, then back again. You caught the silent conversation theyâd shared in their look, but you couldnât decipher any of it. Your palms were wet, your heart pounding, legs on the verge of giving way beneath you. You could barely remember how to breathe.Â
âThatâs what you want?â Your father said, his voice slick with sarcasm. As if youâd asked for something unattainable.Â
âItâs a start,â you said, your voice trembling with the words. But you didnât break eye contact. You stared your father down until he pulled his gaze away, until he swallowed hard and held Claireâs gaze a moment longer.Â
âVery well,â he said, and for one stupid, naive moment your heart actually leapt. You felt it, felt the world get lighter suddenly, your shoulders a little less heavy. Your father met your eye, and brought the world crashing down once more. âClaire, be ready at eight. Connorâget out of my sight. Iâll deal with you, and your delusions, in the morning.â
You can only imagine what would have happened if youâd stuck around, the things your father might have tried to get you to see sense. Conversion therapy, handsomely paid anti-trans therapists. You had no idea. Locking you in your room and denying you access to the things you needed? He would poison Claireâs mind. He was only a person, but he was your father and he could ruin you. Heâd been doing it slowly for years.Â
So you left. One duffel bag full of thrift store boys clothes, a couple books, some cash procured from your fatherâs study. It wasnât fancy, but it got you out of there. Three buses later you showed up on your grandfatherâs doorstep in the middle of the night, and that was the end of living with your father.Â
Now all this time has passed, and here you are with him again. Your father, the play-pretend-king, pasty and sick and barking orders from hospital beds. He looks at you a little kinder now. Youâre a healer. Youâre part of the team that saved his life twice over. Your father shouts at everyone in that room who isnât you, and when they all slope out, he doesnât tell you to go with them. You see his mask slip a little bit, the sigh of relief that comes when itâs just you and him. The door clicks shut and the room is too quiet.Â
âYouâre kind of an ass,â you tell him, but your voice is soft. âDo you know that?â Your fatherâs laugh hacks through the silence, descends into coughing.
âIt got meâthis farâdidnât it?â He said, but his smile slips away quickly. He isnât fooling anyone. He isnât fooling you. Youâre sure he can see it in your eyes.
âListen,â you say, and itâs almost like youâre that frightened seventeen year old again. I want you to call me Connor. âYouâre sick. Youâre doing okay for now, but we both know how this ends.â
âAre you reminding meâthat Iâm going to die someday?â Your father asks, this tiny smile on his face, so forced and humourless that he almost looks afraid. Of you.Â
âIâm telling you,â you start, âthat you know what we have to do here.â
âDo I?â Your fatherâs voice is barely more than a whisper. You can see it on him, how he wants to look commanding, how desperately he wishes this hospital bed were his throne. You give him a look, an almost-smile. Something sympathetic. You see his hands shaking softly on the bed, and it turns your stomach. You lower yourself into the chair at his bedside.
âWe have to talk about this,â you tell him. âAbout everything.âÂ
The silence stretched so long between you it felt like miles rather than seconds. âYeah,â he admits at last. âI suppose youâre right, Connor.â

Unless otherwise specified for a certain fandom, a request yields one romantic pairing AND one friendship pairing as well as information on why I think you work well with the individuals I choose. Of course, if you only wish to receive either just the romantic matchup or just the friendship matchup, just let me know!
You can request matchups for several different fandoms at once! For each fandom you request, I will match you up with one romantic partner and one friend unless you request differently.

The diversity issue One Chicago isnât fixing any time soon
6 years on TV 15 seasons of all the One Chicago shows combined. 94 regular and recurring characters 2 specifically stated LGBTQ+ characters that were on for more than an episode. One who died due to man pain, and the other a manipulative awful girlfriend of said dead woman.
Thatâs about 2% of the characters on all of the shows. Â
Their only significant gay character died in 2014. Thatâs nearly 4 years without any kind of representation. When One Chicago was criticized for having a lack of racial diversity on their shows, they made Med, whose cast is nearly half people of color. (Though they donât all get equal air time or story quality but thatâs another post.)  Justice took it one step further and had more people of color than white people.  So they can take criticism and change tactics, theyâve shown that. So why not change this? Theyâve had time, characters, and 2 shows to correct this glaring problem. Why havenât they?
It wasnât planned from the beginning/The characters havenât shown any signs of being gay. Sexuality isnât something that needs to be revealed right away, there are so many storylines especially in the field that these characters work in that would make for great drama AND great representation. Give me a fire fighter or a cop who is gay, and hides it from the team because they donât want to be seen differently by their team. Or a new character who had a horrible experience with their old team or house or whatever, and decides to come out only after they trust people. Or we could just have a great storyline where someone is out and proud and everyone deals with it respectfully. As for trans characters, all of the above apply, but they could also have a doctor transitioning, and we see the medical storyline play out as well as the emotional one with the doctors. People discover these things about them later on in life, there is no reason any character couldnât be made to have these thoughts and feelings. These storylines write themselves and are incredibly easy to weave into the shows naturally. Youâre just being lazy One Chicago.
It doesnât have network appeal/wouldnât play well with the demo. There are currently about 36 regulars/recurring characters active in the One Chicago Universe. No one is being threatened by putting any LGBTQ+ characters into the storyline. Also if people arenât exposed to this in television, how will they be introduced to these ideas if they donât know anyone personally. Also queer people exist and watch this show. We want representation too. And 18-49 is definitely going to have some of us in it.
Theyâd have to bring in new characters in order to have LGBTQ+ ones. No, they wouldnât. See the first mock question. But also in the past 2 seasons they have introduced about 7 recurring or main characters. All of them straight.
You donât know if theyâre straight, youâre assuming. Yeah, because thatâs the intention that the shows are going for. In order for representation to exist there needs to be some sort of explicit statement or act to show it. Otherwise it doesnât count.
Itâs not realistic to the type of jobs. Really... There are no gay cops or firefighters, or doctors?
These shows are about the jobs not the personal lives. Sexuality and gender expression ARE NOT PERSONAL LIFE THINGS. Itâs who someone is, and thatâs One Chicagoâs specialty. The characters stop them from being just like every other procedural on every other network. And if you have time to show us scenes of every other heterosexual couple you have time to show us queer ones.
Stop watching the show if you donât like it. No. I love these characters and thatâs why I want these shows to do better, and be better. Iâd also love consistent writing, which Iâm not going to get either, but I can still ask for it.
Now hereâs a list of characters who could easily be either read as queer or could discover they were queer. (Also PS, Iâll be using gay in the colloquial manner as in Make this Character Gay, which also means like make them queer or any kind of LGBTQ)
Starting with the newest regular characters.
Ava Bekker: Definitely brought in to be the new lady Connor fucks, but hey you could make her Bi or Pan. She made a comment about liking dangerous men, does that mean she doesnât like dangerous women? Make her gay 2K18. Wouldnât it be interesting to see her not wooed by Connorâs charms and become Zanetti 2.0? She could use a great girlfriend, or non binary friend. Maybe a sweet smart bundle of anxiety who is a second year psychiatry resident? You could show possible anxiety she might have about coming out when sheâs in line for a competitive position.
Hailey Upton: Possibly had an affair with that dude. Alright. Make her bi then. Or if she didnât have that affair, make her gay. Thereâd probably be very positive feedback, and her character might be better received if it didnât look like she was taking Erinâs place completely. Sheâs cool, and calm, and doesnât do a million illegal things an episode like some other characters. Gay Icon 2K18. Make it happen PD.
Stella Kidd: Sheâs got a thing going with Severide. Thatâs great, you can be Bi and in a relationship with a dude. Thatâs what bi means. Have her talk about an ex who is not a dude. Or if youâre going to make Kelly find himself for the umpteenth time instead of getting them together, have Kidd find a nice not cis-guy to date.Â
Isidore Latham: Sure he had that mean sex worker trick him at the conference he went to with Connor, but we donât know any indications of who he is interested in. Why not make him queer?
Looking at characters who have been around for a few seasons.
Sarah Reese:Â She comes from the east coast with a very wealthy mother and absent father. Her mother was never home, and we are shown her numerous confidence issues. If she was bi or pan, she would probably not express it because she wants to stay in the shadows. We can see that in the pastel neutral colors that she dresses in, and her over all demeanor. Show me a Sarah who falls for someone who she thinks she shouldnât, and have her wrestle with those feelings and come out ahead of them. Then we can see her date a super intelligent and confident heart surgeon from South Africa. Sarah is also young and has super liberal leanings, making her the most obvious choice in Med.
Maggie Lockwood: We know next to nothing about Maggie. Sheâs an open book and has no restrictions put on her by previous statements. Sheâd be an excellent lesbian who is proud of her sexuality and is one of the most respected people in the ED.
Noah Sexton: Give me something that would make me stand Noah as a character. Show him dealing with his identity as a latino man from a religious background. It would be interesting and much better than his sexual harassment storyline weâre going with in this season.
April Sexton: Very similar to Noah with regards to being latina with a religious household, but she also has very strong desires to please her parents, and falling in love with someone who isnât a man would be a challenge for her to over come.Â
Kelly Severide: I mean who says he hasnât slept with someone who wasnât a woman before. Again, he can be with Kidd or whoever else they want to put him with, and mention an ex-boyfriend. Or maybe he doesnât mention it and it comes out and we see a respected queer lieutenant. And who wouldnât want to see Taylor Kinney maybe make out with a dude?
Connor Rhodes: Â Bad boy who bucks familial conventions by being bi. Itâs one of the reasons he ran off when he graduated school. Now heâs back in Chicago and is juggling his identity with the expectations of his family, name and this fellowship. Ava finds out heâs bi too, and they become ONLY friends. But good friends.Â
Kevin Atwater: Youâve given him 0 romantic options in the show in 5 seasons, while Ruzek has had 2 engagements...(different post...) Maybe itâs because heâs gay. He and Peter Stone had excellent chemistry on the Justice crossover, delve into that. Show this badass strong and sensitive guy with a great boyfriend.
Sylvie Brett: Maybe she ran away from her wedding for more than just cold feet about missing out on the world. Maybe she never acknowledged those feelings inside her and she wants to date someone other than a guy? I donât know. Possibilities are open.
This is just a small amount of options. You could write a scenario for nearly every character in this universe. So why donât they?Â
PS: Iâm horrible at coming up with Trans and Ace/Aro head canons so if you have any please reblog and put them. I want to read them very badly. ALSO if you have any head canons about this reblog and put them. Letâs get diversity in fanon if weâll never have it in canon.
Special shoutout to @lesbianhaileyupton, and @xelmanrique318 for bringing this up in the tags and causing me to get pissed enough about it to write this whole thing out. I reblogged their posts, and theyâre 100% worth a read.

Okay but what if Connor punched his transphobic father so hard in the face that he fractured his hand, and Will is the one who treats him?
