Hello hello all, in response to the fact that Theo has been pretty much always referred to as a trans man in every aspect of Lovers stuff ''except the Wiki for some reason???'' I am taking steps to remedy this. At the very least, I am planning on putting the following sentence into his Trivia section: | Hello hello all, in response to the fact that Theo has been pretty much always referred to as a trans man in every aspect of Lovers stuff ''except the Wiki for some reason???''

"Theo King is a trans man, and often plays up the visual aspects of his transness as part of his drag. One notable instance included glitter tape across his top surgery scars." | "Theo King is a trans man, and often plays up the visual aspects of his transness as part of his drag.

This sentence is somewhat based in the general idea of wanting to beautify symbols of transness in order to reclaim being trans AS beautiful (and I'm definitely drawing from personal, post-top surgery goals in putting it like this). | This sentence is somewhat based in the general idea of wanting to beautify symbols of transness in order to reclaim being trans AS beautiful (and I'm definitely drawing from personal, post-top surgery goals in putting it like this). | ||

In addition to this, I am asking for some help and collaboration on fleshing out Theo King's drag persona a bit more! Some vague ideas that were floated in the Lovers lore channel were "Theo's persona as a parody of the king that the (toxic and damaging) Royal Kingdom wanted him to be", "generally Very Flashy And Exaggerated", and "I don't know enough about drag to talk about this confidently" which is where this page comes in! I would love for people who know better about drag, especially trans men as drag kings, to add to here and help build up Theo's experience in the article! | In addition to this, I am asking for some help and collaboration on fleshing out Theo King's drag persona a bit more!
