It's just. If I wanted the genderqueer character to choose emself a gender-neutral name, I could totally do that? (I might, too. Not yet, though.) But this character, I want it in flashy yard-high neon that she's trans. It's just, how do I negotiate that, given that she is the only one of the four PoV characters who knows this at the outset?
...or, hey. They're sixteen at the outset, in 2016. They probably all have Tumblr accounts or something, and the trans girl and the genderqueer individual might well have met online. But neither would have enough information to connect the other one's out-trans online persona with "that quiet kid in my math class" (which describes both of them from the other's pov, tbh) at the outset, so.
