It takes Eddie longer than he'd like to follow everything she's just said. Some of the words make some sense, he has a vague idea of what trans is, although when he's from, it's usually a prefix for something else, something he's heard tossed around as a slur, which isn't a situation Eddie takes very kindly to.

Assigned male at birth is pretty clear and within a few seconds, he thinks he's caught up with what Jules is saying. She was born one way and now she's another and while Eddie's experience with that is absolutely zero, while he knows he can't even begin to understand what that feels like, it doesn't change that she's cool.

Except, another beat later, he realizes what else she's saying.

"Oh," he says, sounding surprised, but not bothered. "So I guess the future really is less shitty about stuff like that, huh?"
