#and then ultimately paul is they - again presumably because they’re the amalgam of the souls of a man and a woman

the interesting thing about transness in tlt is that it’s not really visible but it’s ever present. presumably anybody COULD be trans, but no one is explicitly trans, excepting of course the souls of people who were known to have previously been male or female entering the “opposite”-sexed bodies of others - most notably pyrrha in gideon’s body, palamedes in camilla’s, and ianthe in naberius’s. and we see all of these people from the perspective of nona, who probably doesn’t know a thing about gender nor does she care. but pyrrha is always “she”, cam is “she” and pal is “he”, and interestingly ianthebabs is “they”. now does nona see ianthebabs as “they” because she can intrinsically sense the lyctorhood, can sense that something of naberius is still there with ianthe? or does she just get gender vibes from ianthe slaying cunt in babs’ fuckboy body. i like both tbh
