i am of course not the first person to say it but i love trans harry. ohhh to me harry is a bigender miracle that will never have access to healthcare and may never have words for his gender identity and that doesnt have to be tragic it just is
sheer dresses and chest hair and french braids and mutton chops, highly feminine and masculine at any time and simultaneously… calls himself big mama when he’s feelin it… he wants to be a husband and a mother… just high femmmasc hardcore to the absolute mega!!!
I don’t think he cares much about pronouns but he comes up with dramatic names whenever he feels like it. The names are a little bit of theatre but the outfits are very personal. He has too many clothes in every closet and drawer and unorganized bag. He starts with prints and accessories and then dives straight to dresses I think. He loves things that are tight (leopard print) and things that are soft (lamby).
Once he’s more comfortable with his femininity I think he’d really enjoy his masculinity too. I think he’s so capable of change and fluidity once he lets himself release the shame of not always being what he thinks he needs to be. Just being what he wants to be right now.
it’s not an easy world to be so clearly playful with your gender and he won’t, doesn’t, will never ‘pass’ and there’s so many moments where his spirit is hurt back into the small box he came out of when he’s “too feminine” in places that are afraid of that. But now he knows how to release his spirit again.
i’m workin on a playthrough and got this bit again tonight and it gives me… SUCH harry gender feels…

SAVOIR FAIRE - Mm, the luxury of fine things. Just look at those black monk straps! After spending an entire day hustling, who’s to say that you *didn’t* deserve a pair of ridiculously expensive shoes on your tired feet?
YOU - You’re right, beautiful things do make people happy…
SAVOIR FAIRE - Beautiful things give you a *rush*. It’s power - crafting your style, draping your flesh in silk and leather, deciding how to present yourself to the world.
