the most popular answer will be her official gender but right now, i can’t decide so it’s ambiguous and up to your interpretation. (i will use she/her pronouns because she presents as a woman)
so “l” morgado is a portuguese person living in brazil. her name at birth is masculine but since she’s presenting as a woman, just goes by L to leave her real name ambiguous.
though femininity does not equal womanhood, l does typically feminine things like wearing skirts/dresses formally and painting her nails, which appears to give her euphoria.
every time she has to act as a character in a play or something, she always chooses the women characters.
she also keeps the fact that she was born male a secret and doesn’t tell people so she can live as a woman.
i’m leaving it ambiguous but i would read her as a trans woman.
It would also be interesting if she doesn’t quite “get” gender in general.
Like, if she meets a stereotypical dudebro who most folks would think is obviously presenting male, she’d ask him his pronouns. And if someone said to her he’s obviously a guy, she wouldn’t understand why they assume that.
Not trying to write your story for you, it’s just something that came to mind after I replied. :)
Yes i love that!!
