#but as SOON as its a trans man. “gotta man up! tough it out!”

[transsexula]

No. Google. I'm actually looking specifically for trans MEN. I know a lot of articles talk about trans women. But I'm specifically looking for stuff about my subset of the trans community. Why the fuck are trans men so hyper-invisible.

OC Bios

About the world: Takes place in a fictional European/Canadian/American country called "Koche" (pronounced Ka-ch-eh). The planet is Earth adjacent, some of the same rules we have here but others have a magical realism twist to them. You’ve gotta role with the punches.

Kelsa Juniper:

Nicknames: Kellie, Sa, Tomato (siblings only, she blushes easily)

Has 7 siblings (brothers and enby siblings)

Kendrick (Bold Ruler): Cishet man, He/Him, oldest, volunteered to join the war effort to stop Kestrel from having to go, very rigid about rules and has issues relaxing, autistic, PTSD, siblings call him “Ricky” when trying to get a rise out of him

Kenwood "Woody" (Royal Guardian): Genderfluid, Bi, He/She/ It, second oldest, first to be drafted in the war due to his nursing prowess, saw a lot of gore as a result, she used to be a bit of a daredevil who enjoyed its scars as each reminded her of an adventure he went on but now gets sick at the sight of blood, autistic/ADHD, PTSD

Kasani (Chicory, which is said to make the user invisible allowing them to sneak up on people like me lol): Trans man, He/Him siblings helped choose his name since it fit so well, BPD, ran away at the start of the war to avoid being drafted (siblings have a bit of a rift towards him due to this. Not on purpose but… it’s a bit hard to trust someone who abandoned you when times get tough)

Kemp (Fighter, Champion): Cis gay man, He/Him, experiences mania and psychosis, huge insomniac, depression, wasn’t drafted due to his mental health issues (which he beats himself up for), Kelsa is his favorite

Kestrel (Small, Colorful Falcon): Cishet man, like his namesake is very small and fragile, low muscle tone and arthritic, was drafted when the war went into a more desperate drafting period, lots of guilt of Kendrick having to go to war to protect him, self harm tendencies, also an insomniac

Keene (Wise): He/Him?, The youngest (and kind of an accident baby but no one mentions it), Cishet man (or so he thinks ;)), self destructive tendencies, too young to have been drafted, middle child syndrome but isn’t the middle child (or ignored, just has feelings of inadequacy), ironically not very wise makes a lot of decisions and has beliefs towards himself that lack common sense.

Khaleel (Friendly): More on him in his own profile
