It means the world to me that this scene hit for you the way I'd intended When I started this work, Jean, Lorna, and Pietro were the most immediate people who came to mind for "canon" trans arcs. I intended Lorna as MTF, Pietro as VERY stealthily FTM, and Jean as a person who hasn't even sat down to fully figure it out yet. Jean's arc, to me, is one I've thought about my whole life, since the team is called the X-Men and they were a founding member. The piece where Pietro can't help but smile looking at Jean cutting their hair is, in so many ways, the way I feel every time I watch somebody take that first step IRL. Congratulations on cutting your hair. I'm so glad this piece spoke to you.
