Sunsetbreeze had thought long and carefully about this for a while now. Not one day had past by without them thinking about what Hyacinthbreath and Galeforce had said that day. It most have been the most open talk they had ever had with anyone. Usually they keept everything to themselves to solve thier own problems. To not rely on others. That day had for sure been strange but also thanks to that conversation Sunsetbreeze now stood here feeling certain for the first time about who they were not. For too long they had been hiding their true self all locked up. For a long time they hadn't understood or realized what they actually was feeling. But now she - no, he felt a clarity for the first time in thier life. For the first time Sunsetbreeze might have taken a step that was right for them, to break themselves free slowly but surely from thier past.

" Excuse me could i have all of your attention for a moment. I have something importand to say." Sunsetbreeze had never been uncertain or hesitant with their words, today was no difference. He would hold his head high up in the air to show an act of confidence. If anyone here dared to judge him for his decision then....I'll be there to welcome you all the same. Sunsetbreeze would comfort themselves with this words to remind themselves that at least one cat in this clan would accept them none the less. For a second he would try to search for them among the rest, wishing them to be here right now in this importand moment.

His gaze then settled themselves on the gathered crowd and if he felt nervous or uncertain in that very moment the warrior for sure didn't show it. Showing weakness would only get him eaten up alive. Even if they all would treat him differently after this...he could deal with it. Sunsetbreeze had dealt with harsh judgement all of his life. This would be no difference. He had fought hard to become the warrior he was today...no one would take that away from him. The only cat he would get hurt by if rejecting him now was...Sootstar. Was she here too?. He did not dare to look for the she-cat in that very moment, too afraid his facade would crack if he meet the wrong reaction. Sunsetbreeze closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath.

"We like what we like... we are who we are."

Opening his eyes again, Sunsetbreeze was ready. " Starting today i no longer wanna be idenitfied as a she-cat. From now on i want you all to see me as a tom, to address me as one because that is what i am. " a tom. He had never been meant to be born as a she-cat just like what Hyscinthbreath had said. He understood that now, thanks to her and the support of Galeforce. He had alot to owe both of them for helping him come to understand who he really was meant to be. Without them he might have forever been trapped and lost without even knowing why. Before he had spoken out had felt anxious and caged. But now?. After speaking out and letting the whole world hear him to let everyone know who he really was. He felt..... free. like a bird who had been let out of their cage and spreading thier wings for the first time. It was a powerful feeling and he knew in that very moment he had done the right decision.


He was finally free to be who he wanted to be.

Weaselclaw lifts his head to see Sunsetbreeze walking with purpose toward the center of the camp, her head lifted high. She clears her throat and addresses everyone in her characteristic loud voice, demanding attention. He flicks an ear, half-afraid the once-loyal she-cat has gone in Emberfang's direction, Kestreltalon's, and would start more shit about Sootstar.

But she doesn't -- or, well, he doesn't, he supposes. Weaselclaw flicks an ear to acknowledge Sunsetbreeze's request. "Very well." He finds it makes no difference to him one way or another. "But when you're finished, mind helping me patch up the nursery?"

♚ Hyacinthbreath never thought of herself a rolemodel. The fact that she was born male was something she didn't really talk about, didn't really make an announcement for; but it was up to Sunsetbreeze to decide on how she- no, he would come out. Coming out was a sense of relief for some, it made them feel seen. Everyone deserved to feel seen, she'd think.

"I'm proud of you," She praises the tom, smiling upwards at him as she walks over. He deserved the very best, even if he was annoying at times with how he babbled about how great Sootstar was. She used to be the same, she had to remind herself. "How does it feel, being truly you?" She asks with genuine interest, giving him a rare smile.​

Oh great, she nearly hisses. Every single time thus far any clan-mate has drawn attention to themselves it was to bash her in some manner... and here she thought Sunsetbreeze had been made into a loyal, young warrior! She's expecting to be terribly disappointed and preps herself to begin to clean up whatever nonsense they spew... Though like Weaselclaw she finds herself relieved pretty quickly.

Like the tabby, this didn't change anything for Sootstar and she hardly seen it as a big deal. Sootstar herself doesn't verbally responds but she'll heed to Sunsetbreeze's wishes to be regarded as a tom.

↞ RACE THE WINDS
Galeforce had been passing through the camp between duties when he overheard Sunsetbreeze's call. Curiosity claimed him immediately and he found himself padding over to investigate, and he wasn't disappointed when he heard that his good friend had come to reveal who they truly were. A smile filled his face as he stepped a little closer. "Congratulations! I'm really happy for you, Sunset." He purred before he aimed to rub his head against Sunsetbreeze's shoulder in a friendly and accepting manner.
