Well. I've never written an out trans character (diegetically).
Canonically? Coded? Allegorical? Hell ya. All of the above.
On-page discussions of gender, identity, pronouns, coming out, or transition? Nope. Nada. Zilch.
One of my dad's favourite anecdotes was that he repeatedly—and unsuccessfully—tried to read Ulysses until he crossed the Atlantic on a freighter with no other sources of diversion.

AuDHD? Check.
Baseball? I was a decent middle infielder growing up
Poetry? Songwriter
Dates? Didn't have a date for 22 years... because I was married

Pinneapples are a motif in the book, representing Maren's evolving tastes and risk-taking.
Damnit. Now I have to defend fucking WPATH.
Seriously, this fucked.

Day 30:
Tegan and Sara - Call it Off
I saw the Quins when they were 18, touring their indie debut.
Tiny audience, packed in the room like sardines. They had everyone rapt and wrapped around their fingers. Kinda knew they'd blow up.

Today is Bloomsday, an annual ritual where I try to read Joyce, get frustrated, toss it aside after ten pages, and return to reading pulpy SFF.

Day 29:
Blackie and the Rodeo Kings - Stoned
Blackie and the Rodeo Kings are Canada's supergroup.
This tune, one of Tom's contributions to the BARK corpus, a freaking great rock song with a killer slide guitar hook.
