Ok so I’m gonna try to do a full post about the Avengers at pride, but I need to talk about trans!Peter and pride first

• Peter shows up, in his suit, with a trans pride flag tied around his neck
• His entrance would have made his dramatic iron dad proud
• He swung in overhead and landed on top of a float
• (That was kind of an accident but shhh no one needs to know)
• People freaked tf out bc holy shit
• Peter has a great time
• It’s afterwards that’s a little harder
• After, reporters are all over Spiderman being trans
• Someone asks Tony if he knew Spiderman was “actually Spiderwoman”
• Steve had to restrain him to keep him from ripping the guys head off
• The second time it happens Tony actually decks the guy before anyone can stop him
• They weren’t really rushing though
• No one ever misgenders Spiderman to Tony again, though
• The reporters try other team members
• They ask nearly every Avenger about Spiderman’s transition and all the details, but none of them say a word
• Steve actually goes on a long speech about how Spiderman has a right to privacy and they should be embarrassed to have asked such personal question, especially about a friend
• They ask Bruce, thinking he’ll be on their side because ~biology~ but Bruce just goes on to lecture them about how gender is fake and made up
• They can’t cut either off bc you don’t cut off Captain American or The Hulk
• Eventually they stop asking
• The one station that tried to make shit up about the whole thing got a cease and desist order from the Stark law team the morning after it aired
• They had to make a public apology just to keep Tony from suing
• Peter acts really embarrassed about it all, but honestly he’s really pleased that his teammates have his back
• Also trans and nonbinary kids have started sending him fan mail
• He becomes a massive trans advocate/public figure
• He’s constantly going to protests, rallies, etc etc
• Although he can’t support the community financially, he does what he can. When kids write to him about the trouble they’ve had, he writes back and tries to offer advice
• (Though he pretends not to know, Tony has begun throwing money into programs for trans kids who’s parents weren’t accepting)
• ((He loves Tony so much for it though))
• Basically Peter is super lucky and he knows it so he does his best to give back
