HEAR ME OUT
Frank goes to rehab and comes back and slowly starts spiraling because he's actually taking the time to focus on himself and who he is and suddenly realizes that he might not actually be a he
Cue a scene of him sobbing his heart out in Abby's arms as he has the big realization
Abby's of course super supportive (I'm a big fan of queer abby) and takes Frank out shopping to find some outfits to try out to figure out their own personal style and identity
Frank still is proud to be called a dad but absolutely loves when Tanner calls them Dad in public on a more feminine day where she's wearing a skirt and very obviously looks feminine. Frank's a chaotic bastard that takes pride in being a menace in public
She obviously tells Mel first and this sets off a course of events where Mel Abby and Frank end up in a queer sapphic polycule (mel is acearo so its very qpp too)
the others in the ED learn because one of Frank's new trans friends (because duh she abby and mel are obviously going to community events) comes in due to some injury (maybe a non serious car crash or smth) and gets super confused because that is Frankie and their pronouns are she/they why are all these people calling this badass lesbian doctor a he
they have a concussion and so in a moment of confusion lets it slip and Frank just laughs and just shrugs and is like yea youre right because she loves fucking with her friends and so now the entire ED staff are like oh god have I been misgendering my friend this whole time and none of them are comfortable enough to ask until finally santos is like dude are you trans because she just does not gaf and is tired of the others all being uncomfortable
frank's just like yea have been for a while and keeps moving
robby especially is internally freaking out a bit because hes a good attending™️ and cant believe he missed this major part of his favorite resident
