re:tavroscrocker
I had more thoughts about it based off my personal experience, and I wonder if this analogy makes sense?
Some people will use they/them pronouns and identify as nonbinary for a period of time before they transition to a binary gender. It's sort of like a stepping stone for some people! I wonder if Calliope has a similar stepping stone phase.
I will not I have not personally gone through this with my gender, but I have experienced something similar with my therianthropy/otherkinity (because honestly, im not even sure i would be described as a therian anymore). So I'm not sure how accurate this is, but it is something I saw friends go through and I think it makes sense for Calliope's situation. I mean, Roxy does it too in Meat!
