[Her ears perk up. There's a lot to take in, but...]

You're not?

[mightymorphin]

Nope. [And this is the first time anyone's asked about it, really.]

I was born a vaguely baby-shaped lump of goo. But my parents had been expecting a boy, so they encouraged me to look like a regular human boy growing up. And I just kept doing that for a really long time.

It wasn't until after I went through some pretty bad personal stuff that I realized that the face I was wearing not only didn't fit me anymore, it maybe had never really fit me in the first place. Luckily my team was fine with it when I started using my 'natural' face at home, even if I still had to use the old one when I go out in public.

I don't mind if people still refer to me as a guy, since I use masculine forms a lot. But that's not the whole truth of who I am.

... Oh...

[She's just sort of. Slumping. Relaxing a little. Like tension she'd been carrying her whole life just got all cut out from her at once.

Morph's similar to Rin. They're like her.]

And you're... not scared to be that way here?

[mightymorphin]

Naaah. There's... other stuff I'd rather keep to myself, but I was more worried about my looks. On my world, being a visible mutant is a quick ticket to getting thrown out of a store or beat up by some creeps.

But hey, I wore something girly to Obon, and though I surprised someone no one was really bothered by it.

[nightwild]

Damn.

[What else can she even say about that? She's just... impressed. Confused. Envious. She's not brave- She just does the only things she knows how to do. But Morph? Morph knows the risks and is doing it anyway.

That's braver than she could ever be... Truth be told, she's jealous.]

... All right, you win.

[mightymorphin]

[Morph had already decided that it was important to be an 'out mutant' for both Kurt's sake, and for their own comfort. For them, not hiding their gender identity went hand in hand with it.]

As long as you're willing to give the Chosen a chance, then I'm happy. If you decide we're no good, it can at least be on our own merits.

[nightwild]

Yeah, I won't get my hopes too high after everything.
