Sam, Detransitioner the sp first "Dauntless Four", is undaunted in the power of its expressive force.

Edgar Oliver. If any other type but a Four tried to pull this off, it would come across like a caricature.

Shape Shifter has all the bells and whistles of David Gray's so/sx "festooned regalia" along with a probable Seven fix. But Four is the lead, and s/he is making 'themselves' unique by not continuing the detransitioning process--including removal of adornments-- because it's too late to turn back, while at the same time insisting on being called 'he' and known as male. Which will be quite the feat for most people and puts Shapeshifter in a category of one. Compare to Sam above who, with the protective shell of sp first and soc last, wryly acknowledges the absurdity of now being between sexes and lets the cards fall where they may. People can think he's male or female and call him whatever they like. But social Four Shame knows no bounds; there is almost a revelry in the feeling of shame. Shapeshifter will look like a she--extremely so--and be called a he. Uniquely.

Tom Hiddleston is a much more subdued so/sx midstream 4w3; and a 4w33w2 who can get away with playing normies and even Lokis. And 'football'. There is nothing overt about the social Four shame; it just leaks out subtly but pervasively.
