POSSIBLE HEADCANON TIME

I JUST THOUGHT GUYS

you know how (well you probably don't remember) how my Hoppip boy Orpheus, he gets really upset when people tease him about his girly hair, so he withdraws and retaliates and takes up smoking and -

WHAT IF IT REALLY AFFECTS HIM BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A FULL MALE. AND HE DOESN'T REALIZE IT YET, BUT THAT'S WHY HE GOT UPSET ABOUT BEING MADE FUN OF

BECAUSE THAT'S WHO HE ACTUALLY IS but doesn't fully realize it yet

BUT LATER WHEN HE EVOLVES INTO A SKIPLOOM AND JUMPLUFF

HE REALIZES HE'S TRANSGENDER

OR HE REALIZES HE LIKE.... HE'S A DEMIGIRL

like, he identifies as a girl sometimes but only halfway, like .... he feels better when people refer to him as "she" and "her" but he doesn't like, go full-feminine (like wearing skirts/dresses, makeup, having a sassy talk)

more like... yeah, a demigirl. wearing girlier clothing than he HAS been wearing, but not too girly.

HNNNNNG I REALLY AM LIKING THIS IDEA, GUYS.

the official definition of Demigirl:

"A demigirl is someone who only partially (not wholly) identifies as a girl or woman, whatever their assigned gender at birth. They may or may not identify as another gender in addition to feeling partially a girl or woman.
Alternatively, demigirl can be used to describe someone assigned female at birth who feels but the barest association with that identification, though not a significant enough dissociation to create real physical discomfort or dysphoria, or someone assigned male at birth who is trans feminine but not wholly binary-identified, so that they feel more strongly associated with “female” than “male,” socially or physically, but not strongly enough to justify an absolute self-identification as “woman"."
