Chapter Text

Dawn==> Be confused
Your name is Dawn Strider, you are 8 years old, and you are feeling awfully confused.
When you went into the boys section of the store the lady who worked there told you to look in the girls area. But you weren't a girl?
Dawn ==> Be Bro
Bro had always knew something was different with his sister Dawn.
At first he had assumed it was from influence from him and her twin brother Dirk, but soon he began to realize that wasn't the case.
She always wanted to wear boys clothes, had insisted on cutting her hair short, and had even once come home crying saying that when she used the boys bathroom at school the teachers had scolded her. He then talked to the teachers about it and assured Dawn that she could use whatever bathroom she felt more comfortable using.
Now that she was getting older, things are going to start getting more complicated.

Dawn ==> Be older
You are now Dawn Strider and you need to have a talk with your bro.
"Bro. I need to talk to you."
"Sure lil sis. What's up?"
"First. Could you start calling me Dave from now on?" you ask.
"Sure lil bro" your brother replies with a smile.
"Secondly, do you know what a binder is? Like, for your chest?" you asked nervously.
"Of course lil man"
You sigh with relief.
"Do you think you could get me one?"
Your bro pulls you into a hug.
"Of course Dave"
You smiled.
"Thanks bro. I really appreciate it."

TG: no i havent talked to him about it yet
TG: im afraid hes gonna break up with me if i tell him since he always makes it known that nope john egbert is in no way a homosexual
TT: Well we are only thirteen. Teenage relationships don't last forever.
TG: rose all you and kanaya do is make out in the girls bathroom so youre not one to talk about failing homosexual relationships
