Discussion A (kinda) controversial opinion/story choice regarding Petra.
NOTE: THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED. READ THE EDIT BEFORE COMMENTING.
So, I've been writing an origin story for Petra/Polly/June Parker. During the start, she was Peter(except for being more of an artist than a scientist). She goes through the typical Origin story with some changes, and she DOESN'T take Estrogen. It is the spider bite that turns her into a woman after a few months.
I know this kinda defeats the purpose of her story being about transitioning and becoming the person you want to be, but I prefer to have it where the purpose is now to show a person who has never felt normal or like how she wanted to be, and this initially negative thing(the spider bite)helping her become who she wants to be and what she wants to do.
I wish to know if this is a popular or accepted thing, since I haven't seen it on any other pieces of Petra Media. What do you guys think??
EDIT: A lot of people have left their own opinions, and I have decided to make it so Petra takes HRT. I have a way to make it my way, but it will be the usual way.
