He impresses bronze, which means he's going to be forced to out himself to the rider of every dragon his dragon chases, which is potentially many more than if his dragon only rose once in a while.

No? Bronze dragons only have to out themselves to the riders their dragon *catches*, and there are dozens of bronze dragons in every chase, and a good rider has a fair amount of control over who he catches (and can generally choose not to rise.) He could fly in a bunch of flights, never catch anybody on purpose, and people would only think his dragon was a bit shit and/or picky. He could always be somewhere else when gold dragons are rising, and never rise for greens, and people would think he was a bit prudish but bronzes get away with things.

He spends the whole fic thinking he's going to Impress a Green and then he *will* have no choice but to out himself when his dragon flies, and that will just have to be the price of being a dragonrider (and "if I impress a Green I will get raped" is canon whether you're trans or not, if you don't want that mentioned in your Pern fic, DNW it) but he *doesn't* Impress green, so he *won't* have to.

He has to out himself if he wants to have sex in which he's not careful about not outing himself, but would be true regardless.
