re “In each timeline, they identify in relation to the niche they can fill in a family.”

while i agree that roxy does mold himself to the expectations of others, i still think his gender is a finite thing that doesn’t change universe to universe. his void aspect is very complementary to the story his transmasculinity serves… because the void is this sort of unquantifiable, unexplainable dimension that generates finite objects like the perfectly generic object or the matriorb. his transness exists because it just does, it doesn’t need an explanation and especially not a justification. and i think that story is very pertinent to trans experiences today with us constantly being asked to explain and justify why we’re here.
