5th and 7th are trans women

Five and seven? Why them, and not 8?

Because honesty I’m not sure that the “boy” label the woman adopted really counts as a gender? Its certainly the same word as a gender label commonly used but I’m not sure if its really the same concept.

Okay, but then why do 5 and 7 make the cut?

Because their experiences were more influenced by existing societal gender norms.

So what it seems like is that there has to be, at baseline, an idea that there is such a thing as "boy" and "girl" and that those characters must be tied to the physical body, even if it's done incorrectly.
