I had a similar thought about the Ronnie character in The Diplomat, although I am leaning positive on it because they never did say "they" or "he" and she obviously was not medicalized. The only potential hint at "trans" would be that it looked like she might have worn a binder - but I could not be sure of that, so I choose to believe she is just a small-breasted woman, maybe wearing a sports bra. I also choose to believe she was simply a lesbian who likes to dress in "masculine" clothing. We need to see plenty of normalized "butch" lesbians today as so many such women are being medically harmed and turned into so-called trans-men.

And have them use real, sex-based pronouns to emphasize NO “TRANSITION.”
