@Kierark4Ever, @FeastofSpecs, Alex has stated her preferred pronouns. Alex states that she is, "typically female (using she/her) with some very male days (using he/him)." In fact, Alex explicitly states that she hates the pronouns "they/them" and asks for them to never be used. Did you read the book? Or did you browse tumblr and see that there was a children's book with a transgender person and decide to give your two cents? Because, Alex was very explicit when talking about her gender. The book was very explicit in the pronouns. It was practically hammered into the reader's head. The only reason you wouldn't know is if you didn't read it. I see no reason for you to insist of using "they/them" unless you 1) didn't know which means you didn't read the book or 2) you refuse to use what Alex likes because you have your own preference.

@Leonidasvaldez2 Gender is not like choosing what shirt to wear. There is actual brain scans that show the difference between male and female brains. This is how transgenderism is seen in individuals (like a male with a "female" brain scan). If gender can just be decided like a personal choice, one would have to wonder why a transgender person would "choose" to not identify with their biological sex and suffer debilitating gender dysphoria. Why would a transgender person go through a costly medical procedure to change their biological sex if the cure was as simple as choosing to identify as their biological sex?

@Long Island Spartan, For all intents and purposes, Alex seems to meet the criteria for bigender. However, Alex does not refer to herself as such and identifies as genderfluid. It'd probably be best to refer to her gender as genderfluid for that reason.
