Gender-Changing Ceremony

Sometimes a cat is born a gender but, as they grow up, they may realize this gender no longer fits their identity. That cat, or that cat's parents, depending on their age, can ask the leader to preform a Gender-Changing Ceremony in front of the clan so that everycat knows the cats new identity.

A trans cat may or may not choose to go through a gender changing ceremony, be it due to fear of being out, not caring about pronouns, or having a complicated identity. For example, Seedspeck is genderfluid and, instead of going through a different ceremony everytime their identity changes, they stick a flower behind their ear that indicates their pronouns.

Process
A cat can change their gender at any point in their life, though the first ceremony is usually only preformed after a cat is six moons old. Once being told of the cat's decision, the leader will call a clan meeting, call the cat forward, and recite the ceremony."Leader: (Name), (you/your family) have informed me that you no longer feel you fit the terms of (AGAB).""Cat: (Word or gesture of agreement)""Leader: Spirits of (StarClan/Glare of Stars Above), you know every cat's gender. I now ask you strip this cat who stands before you of theirs, for it no longer stands for who they are. At the approval of our warrior ancestors, I ask you see this cat as (their preferred gender), in life and death."
