I like the ease at which Brennan included a trans character. Oh yeah Demodus was poor but when he could afford it he bought a magical beard growing potion. Yeah his clothes are in tatters and you can see a binder. Two lines is all it took and now we know and never need to bring it up again. Demodus doesn’t need to talk about how he was drawn the illusion to show the truth because he wanted to look like his authentic self through magical means. We can assume that. Demodus is now just allowed to exist as a trans grad student. The only important thing we need to discuss is that he’s poor and in grave danger. He wouldn’t be thinking about anything else right now anyway.
