Backstory Notes

Rae grew up in a gender-neutral setting; no one explicitly taught her what being "a girl" or "a boy" meant.

Her understanding of identity comes from function, behavior, and instinct—not social norms.

She only learned about her assigned gender in her mid-twenties, and viewed it more as an observation than a revelation.

Though she acknowledges her biological reality now, she continues to live as she always has—without conforming to labels.
