#i have many thoughts on trans!enoch and enoch’s backstory in general

[dragonsdendoodles]

Miss Peregrine feels like she has the most on point queerdar you have ever seen

Like, she saw Horace and immediately knew, she just knew

I saw and 100% agree with your hc that Enoch is transmasc because I am too and he’s my favorite and that’s how this works, and I can just see him being the most distraught he’s been going to her trying to explain he’s a boy not a girl and just so upset because he’s scared she’ll hate him or something

And she’s just trying not to say “honey, I’ve known-“ like obviously she doesn’t care and supports him, but she wants to say she’s known for so long sooo bad

Oh absolutely. Her gaydar is so accurate it’s not even funny, like I’d argue it’s as accurate as her finding-peculiars sense

In my personal headcanons about Enoch’s past (which are traumatizing and horrible and very fun to make him cry over in the second chapter of Forging Friendships) I don’t think Miss Peregrine ever knew him at all point where he didn’t pass on his own, but she absolutely knew both because as stated best gaydar in the world and also because I like to think when she met him and brought him back to the loop she had a conversation with him one-on-one that was very much “I know there’s something up, you’re not in trouble by any means I just need to know how to take care of you properly so will you tell me please so I can do that” which is a question she asks everybody (because in my head like. Half those kids are trans) and he was blunt about it but he did tell her because she told him many many many times that whatever happened because of it in his old loop would never happen again especially not under her watch

It was absolutely not like when a transphobe is like “you can always tell you know” it’s like if you’re at the ER and they’re like “what does your body do. What are you on. I don’t care about how illegal the drugs you took are I just need to know what they are so I do not poison you trying to fix it” but like. Gentler. If that makes any sense at all I don’t know it’s 12:30 am for me
