I thought about the possibility of Deryn being trans, but with that in mind, I didn't read her as liking being a man for its own sake. She "became" a man because it was the only way she'd get to keep flying and because she hated the life she'd be required to lead if she stayed at home. I felt as though she thought of it as the means to an end, but not something she would have done if women had been allowed to join the military. (I'm a cis female, so I might be projecting too.)

BUT I think it would be awesome if you wrote that book. I'd read it!

OP

I think it was because of the way Dylan reacts to other people thinking he's not a man. In Leviathan, Dylan curses being born a girl. In Goliath, Alek sees that Dylan is trying to start a physical fight with him to feel more like a man. When Lilit asks him if he'd want to be a man forever, Dylan says that it doesn't seem possible anymore- dodging the question. Instead, he kind of mutters that maybe he could live as a girl in a freer society, which I always read as an option that he'd take if he had no other choice. He won't even tell Lilit his birth name.

It's just little things like this that makes me think Dylan is an FTM, but I've heard others give convincing arguments that they see Deryn as genderqueer. Of course, that's one of the incredibly appealing factors of the character- whether you're cis female or FAAB trans*, Deryn/Dylan mirrors your identity as you read. That's just barking cool.
