I agree with you about Dylan, but I think there will always be people who will argue about it because it's very difficult to write about a gay trans person in an era and culture where people simply didn't accept the existence of trans people and regarded "homosexuality" as a sinful, criminal way of life. People will argue that Dylan never self-identifies as either, but there wasn't any way to do that in the WWI era. :/ It's a real catch-22: be with Alek and allow yourself to be treated as female and defined by others as female, or be...whatever it even is, Dylan and Alek might not even know that it's possible for them to have a relationship although Alek may well have read the Greek classics.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-05 06:36 am (UTC)(link)Considering how many social mores Alek and Dylan have been defying over the series, I don't think it's totally out of the question that they'd break a few more to be happy. :) And yes, I totally believe Alek has read Plato, given his comfort with Latin.
And I don't think it'd be too unlikely that they'd crash into the gay underbelly of London in the '20s and '30s.
There were even a few FTM surgeries back then! (MTF cases are far more common and more likely to be documented, in the case of Lili Elbe, but if you look hard you can find a few.) Transsexuality and gender variance seem to have been confused with sexual orientation in words like the oh-so-posh 'invert', and drag balls were a common thing in the gay community. In one of my favorite books 'Queer London', about gay life in London between the wars and up until the Wolfenden Report, there's a photo of hundreds of men in costume and in drag, filling an entire dance hall. You can even pick out a few committed couples. Deryn and Alek might have been readily accepted into such a community, or at least have a passing awareness of that community's existence.
