its almost embarrassing how much time i've dedicated to thinking about ftm 03 leo. i have so many thoughts about him
#definitely a 'splinter (who was a normal pet rat and doesnt really comprehend gender as identity) assumes all the turtles are male'#everything he knows is from his master yoshi parenting books and television - so thats really all the turtles know too#leo is aware that hes biologically different from his brothers from a young enough age and just. kind of hides it because he doesnt want to#'be a girl'#meanwhile donny is kind of piecing shit together and is like 'oh no what if leo doesn't know he could be a girl and we're forcing him to be#a boy against his will?'#and its a whole comedy of errors. miscommunication all the way around#donny digging up any and all info about being a trans male in new york in the late 90s#and doing everything to get the terminology correct#and leo's just 'i'm a male man guy dude i dont care if i'm a transsexual one'#in the end it literally just doesn't matter. he's a mutated turtle who lives in a sewer it makes 0 difference that hes not genetic#(which is such a fun old term for cis)#i need that old badge that says ~better dead than genetic~#<- unrelated#leo just wants to train with swords and read books#i need to stop#theres more but i have to cut myself off#tmnt#mine#trans leo#trans hc#03 leo#tmnt 2003
