#transmasc dovewing

[lockandkeyhyena]

ok ok i have a dovewing design in mind for this au but im gonna draw that later bc i just wanna talk abt transmasc dovewing,,,,

ok so like thinking of dovewing being treated as basically a replacement for hollyleaf by all the other characters in her life. shes trying had to live up to this impossible larger than life figure who is hanging over her at all times. shes trying to be more like hollyleaf to please her clanmates who are kind of oblivious to her strife!! she leans into her more feminine side even though it makes her feel uncomfortable because she feels the need to fit this hole everyone is expecting her to fill

shes wearing plants in her fur like hollyleaf did. shes spiking her fur up a bit and trying to be this girl that shes not!! and hollyleafs been watching this all from the tunnels like dude what are you doing so she confronts him oneday and pep talks him and makes him realise hes trying to live up to ppls impossible expectations and he can just be himself.

and anyway he comes back to camp and comes out as a trans guy and everyone is supportive because they werent being actively hateful, just neglectful and ignorant of doves true feelings and and hes finally making his own hole to fill :)

anyway ive been thinking abt this forever i needed to wordvomit it somewhere sorry </3

dovewing is a transmasc demiboy contrapan who uses he/they/she pronouns

Dovewing from Warrior Cats is a transmasc, demiboy, contrapan who uses he/they/she pronouns!

[featherdawn]

transfem egg ivypool who spends a good chunk of time bitter that dovewing gets to be a tomboy while she's just stuck being a man and someone has to bonk her on the head with "you know u can be a masculine girl if you want. nobody's stopping you."

[saffronscales]

I would give dovewing testosterone he deserves it

[thylacid]

dovewing moves to shadowclan and instantly gets 10x more transmasc

Guess who got a drawing tablet for Christmas and decided to use it to draw a transmasc Dovewing?

It was me, I did that.

Part of me feels like the lineart isn't good but at the same time it just looks like the rest of the lineart in my drawings.

This is a genuine question! Would Moonpaw in your world be Intersex? And how would the clans view it? I worry due to how in canon, the clans can seem...sexist towards female cats, and I don’t know how they'd react to a intersex cat.

BB!Moonpaw is going to be intersex yes

It's actually seen as very special! Clan culture's concept of gender is Trinary. There are THREE genders, and none of them match completely to the US/UK's concept of gender roles.

1. "Woman"/Molly/Yaow.

Given to AFAB cats by default. This gender is expected to have an active, argumentative role in the Clan. They are socialized to have a domineering and active role in their personal relationships, while also doing the emotional and physical labor of taking care of their camp and kits.

The "Bailey" to a tomcat's "Motte." They are supposed to be the secondary, smarter, more deadly line of defense against threats.

2. "Man"/Tom/Ssuf.

Given to AMAB cats by default. This gender is expected to be passive but protective, giving ground to a molly or a gib who "understands the nuances of camp better." They're socialized to spend more time out of the camp and do more hunting and patrolling than their counterparts.

The gender is named for the sound of spraying, as marking territory is what Ssuf cats are most associated with.

In these genders, being trans is more normalized than not living according to the roles. They have a different idea of being queer compared to us!

"Third Gender"/Gib/Meewa.

This doesn't translate into English very well. We would call it nonbinary by our standards, but this is a full gender role to Clan cats.

Gibs can be assigned at birth when they display sacred signs, such as closely resembling a dead nyams, having extra claws, being perfectly identical twins, or having intersex traits. It is a role associated with wisdom, conflict resolution, and long-term planning.

They are often socialized to be more intuitive and spiritual, but from a young age they might get given more responsibility than they're ready for. Especially if they're silver or gray, a color associated with wisdom.

I usually keep using the pronouns from canon because of 1. Simplicity since the whole fandom is used to them, 2. The fact that Clanmew doesn't use gendered pronouns anyway, and 3. It helps keep my xey/xem drops more special. But a LOT of cats are actually meewa in-universe.

There are also cats who have transitioned away from being Meewa. This is how both Hazeltail and Mousewhisker, identical twins, are transfem and transmasc respectively. I am planning for Frostpaw to ALSO transition out of the meewa gender, she will be transfem.

So Moonpaw, with xeir half-moon face, intersex traits, and connection to the moonpool? That is a DEAD RINGER for a meewa-gendered gib. The only thing she's missing is any amount of gray. I am going to use She/Xey for her going foward.

(I can see her receiving something silvery as a gift someday. Probably from one of her parents-- I'm currently leaning towards FlipBay or ShellFern PRETTY hard, and Flipclaw or Fernstripe would do something like that I think.)

(Fern would be more of a trader though I think. I feel like she's not very dexterous, but WICKED smart. Flip is discovering a talent for toymaking.)

This is actually a part of BB's Clan Culture reworks I play a lot more loosely than other bits, but it's still a lot of fun!

About time I dropped some Dovewing sketches here. I say “Tigerheart (Goldenheart) if he were cool” because he’s really not too cool in canon. I love love love Dovewing leaving the clan for him though. So I take Tigerheart and shake him really hard into transmasc Goldenheart who doesn’t suck like canon Tigerheart!

transmasc ivypool and transfemme dovewing ‼️ thank you.

im thinkin about tigerdove headcanons rn i feel like tigerstar 2 would be nonbinary and dovewing would be agender. i like the idea of dovewing being small and neat furred when she is little but as she gets older she gets pretty big and her fur gets messier, and her voice gets deeper. i also like the idea that they consider themselves a queer lesbian couple, and that they are both aroace and have almost never had feelings for any other cats. oh and they are both definitely autistic. i also lovee the idea of transfem tigerstar and transmasc dovewing, but I imagine they'd both still be nonbinary and agender. maybe also genderfluid for dovewing.

they are my otp okay hgvhjh it is my duty to pour as much headcanons onto them as possible and to self project onto them as much as possible.
