azula and zuko came out to each other at the same time. when it came to telling their dad they were worried about what he would say bc being gay is still illegal but no one had ever made being trans illegal so they had no clue how he'd react
azula: ok. ok i know what to do
zuko: what
azula: we're going to have to gaslight him
zuko: ...what?
azula: look dad's very distracted if we can get everyone to act like i've always been a girl and you've always been a boy he'll probably fall for it
zuko: what about our names?
azula: we'll switch. i'll be azula and you can be zuko. if no one has to learn new names it'll be much easier.
zuko: ok let's do it
ozai: good morning zuko
zuko: good morning
ozai: ? i was talking to zuko
azula: what do you mean, father? that IS zuko. are you feeling alright?
ozai: ...something's not right.
azula & zuko: *nervous sweating*
ozai: ...azula didn't you used to be taller?
azula: zuko hit a growth spurt last night. and trapped me in the washing machine
zuko: wait what was that last part-
ozai: zuko how dare you do such a thing to your sister! you're grounded!
zuko: but-
azula: it must be difficult having such a problematic son
ozai: it really is. fortunately i have a wonderful daughter *wanders off*
azula: see? told you
zuko: did you have to get me grounded tho?
azula: ...yes
Trans Zuko is so funny to me. I’m not saying this to try and make fun of people who headcanon him as trans - trans headcanons are great and I support them. It’s just wild because it implies Ozai was out here like:
[Image description: a white woman with blonde hair is saying:
‘I can excuse burning a kid’s face, but I draw the line at misgendering’.
The words ‘burning a kid’s face’ and ‘misgendering’ have been edited in.
End description]
