Kaminari Gender Questioning

"Hey, Kirishima." Kaminari spoke

"Yeah." Kirishima prompted.

"Well, I've been thinking about gender recently because I realised that I really like the pronouns they/them but I still mostly am fine with using he/him and being perceived as a guy so I'm just really confused about what that means for my gender." Kaminari told him

"Does it have to mean anything right away? You can think about it until you have the answer. It's like your own personal journey of discovering your gender and stuff." Kirishima reassured him.

"What if in the end then I decide that I want to just stick with he/him pronouns and being a boy?" Kaminari spoke about his worries.

"Then that's fine, it's all personal and it's your journey. You can wonder about your gender and then be more secure in where you started in your journey of gender identity and still be valid." Kirishima said.

"I guess, what if I also want to try she/her pronouns but have some personal issues that make that hard." Kaminari spoke, softly, as if afraid to voice this.

"It's okay to go at your own pace and think about it for a while, you don't have to decide it all now." Kirishima reassured.

"Sure but what if I never get over my issues and miss a chance to be truly happy in my gender." Kaminari looked at Kirishima, determined to be brave about this even if they Kaminari was really scared of this.

"I can't tell the future, but you can just try your best, at least that's what I think." Kirishima smiled at Kaminari.

"Yeah, I suppose, I just wish I had all the answers now and that it was easy. I don't know, people are always saying that if someone isn't part of the LGBTQ+ community then they aren't going to get confused that they are but what if I'm the one person that does get confused and ends up giving the community a bad reputation. I'm certainly the type to get confused." Kaminari says sadly.

"I don't know what to say other than that you are one person unlikely to ruin the reputation of a whole community and that the journey is entirely your own and if you end up deciding that you were fine where you started then that's okay." Kirishima reassures Kaminari.

"Thanks, I feel a little better now. I'm going to keep thinking about it for a bit." Kaminari states.

"No problem, would you like me to use they/them pronouns for you?" Kirishima asked.

"Yeah, thank you." Kaminari smiled at Kirishima with gratitude.
