On this episode, Chris talks about being nonbinary trans-femme and

Morgan talks about being demisexual (and briefly about both being
pansexual) and how they have both navigated these experiences in their
lives and relationship.

  • There are a lot of resources on the internet about being

    transgender and nonbinary, and opinions about most of them tend to
    run strong. That said,
    Transgender Map has good
    resources explaining many concerns for those who are transgender
    or nonbinary, are trying to figure out if they are transgender or
    nonbinary, and support materials for family and friends.

  • demisexuality.org

  • WebMD article on demisexuality.

    Note that despite what Chris says on the episode, the page itself
    does not mention narrative components of demisexual attraction, but
    rather emotional ones. The extrapolation of application to narrative
    aspects came more from Morgan and Chris talking through Morgan's
    manifestation of those aspects.

  • Chris's "Alpha Release" post about being nonbinary trans-femme with

    pictures,
    on the fediverse
    and
    on Twitter
    (and later
    update).
    (These were the first pictures Chris took in a more directly "femme"
    gender expression and do not reflect the current state of the
    development branch.)

  • Morgan's coming out thread about being demisexual,

    on the fediverse
    and
