#and the krum & ellingboe are like

[lokomotives]

don’t know if you’ve ever seen the film ‘the danish girl’ but it is... stunning. a very bittersweet movie about a danish couple who undergo a strain in their marriage after one of them transitions into a woman. as a transgender man myself, i hope its not a stretch to kind of see the jesper in that scenario? him being the first to transition from female to male in his time? i have so many hcs for trans!jesper. hope i’m not projecting too much haha

Trans!Jesper is 100% my headcanon for him. I haven't seen "The Danish Girl" but I am a trans-dude myself and vibe with Jesper pretty hard.

He has major "I'm walking around my house with my shirt off and no one can stop me" energy. Though I feel that because of him being trans - he has never really trusted somebody enough to become intimate with them.

Papa Johanssen is 100% supportive, in a "Boys like the Military and the Postal system right?" Kind of way. This is also kinda the reason he let Jesper get away with so much at the Academy. The Drill Sergeant was pretty annoyed when Jesper got his own bunk and bath all to himself.

Once Jesper gets to Smeerensburg however I feel that he becomes "Whelp, how do I ask for menstrual supplies now? Guess I'll just die."

First person he tells us def Alva, since she's the only lady on the island who won't blab to anyone. Alva is... surprised but feels that she needs to protect Jesper - in case the Krums or Ellingboes use him being trans as a way of driving him off.

Klaus is told during a night run, Jesper was all nervous and almost freaking cried because he didn't know how Klaus would react. Only for Klaus to slowly pull the sled to a stop and pull Jesper into a big hug.

Mogens def finds out on accident once he tries to amp up the flirting. He finds out during a visit to the island's Hot Springs (ala Anime-tropes) only to find Jesper there. Mogens dosen't mind/care - Jesper is a hot ticket and Mogens apologises for some of his more off-colour teasing. Jesper is delighted and pretty much tackles Mogens into a hug before remembering that they're both naked.

I too have many a Trans!Jesper headcanon
