#marinette making them a pride themed scarf and chat is like lb... this is so sweet but i cant wear this as a civillian

wait ok this isnt an mlb blog but i hafta give my two cents on this.

victim/villain in question is a trans person who was akumatised bc of dysphoria and cis ppl just brushing it off as overreacting. the Gender Beam™ not just transes everyones gender, but gives them dysphoria as well, so "you can all finally feel what i have to go through every day!" (there's gotta be an ongoing gag where hawk/shadow moth keeps misgendering them and every time the villain gets closer and closer to betraying hawkmoth and rocking his shit. even better if they succeed, like in the shanghai special.)

marinette gets hit and she's like oh my god. this feels awful, people really have to live like this? im gonna start learning how to sew binders, how to cut n style hair, tikki do you think i could be a surgeon - bc her natural thought process is like "i need to help people in any way i can" n after realising how much things like binders n changes in hairstyle can help after her temporary dysphoria being eased as ladybug, she has a lot more perspective now.

MEANWHILE, adrien gets hit by the Gender Beam™ and is just like oh. nothing happened. i guess this is what they meant by gender doesnt equal your biology and how its a social construct? guess we can face this villain easily after all! n when he transforms into chat noire he gets the more feminine outfit hes secretly always wanted to try and is like oHHhHHHhhh boy this shit do be hitting different. huh, where'd that lingering feeling of existential dread go? i can kinda roll w this. maybe i should go for a more fem look more often? then they get confusedly they/them'd and then she/her'd and she's like YOOoOOo. this kind of fucks, actually,

so while fighting the villain ladybug's all like "my chest feels tight i need to take this binder off but i cant bc ill feel like throwing up and- chat?" and chat is just. looking at themself in the mirror, absolutely in awe, super confident, goes and whoops the villains ass and frees the akuma with only a bit of ladybugs help. ladybug puts everything back to normal but chat's suit stays the same while ladybugs goes back to normal and chat's just like "hey lb... i dont actually think i felt anything different when i got hit by that beam. i think... i think this is just me."

ladybug's surprised, but after what she just went through shes just like "ok what do u want ur pronouns to be then. any change in superhero name? do you want me to make you a pronoun pin? should i call you m'lady from now on-" and chat just cuts her off before her questions get more n more outrageous, going "he, she and they all work, nah, yes please, and absolutely bugaboo" and ladybug just realises what she walked into and is like wow, yep that's still my chat noir alrighty

akuma villain power that’s just “trans your gender”

Marinette and adrien get hit by the Gender Beam, and of course, look the same. But they don’t feel the same. So their hero transformations look different for the episode!! Ladybug has a binder and cropped hair and a more masculine suit design. Chat Noire gets some high heeled boots just for fun (he’s always wanted to try them), with a more feminizing outfit and longer hair. 

and at the end of the episode Ladybugs just “damn it was fun being a boy today! ok im gonna go back to my pink jeans i miss them goodbye chat noir” and leaves and Chat Noir is just “yknow what bein a girl aint that bad” and comes out as genderfluid next patrol.
