This was cute! Trans identity was represented so nicely in this & I loved how fast moving the plot was for the most part. I remember thinking pride and prejudice really dragged at parts, and this seemed to focus more on the highlights and big moments which i appreciated a lot! My only beef is I felt myself struggling with suspending my disbelief a lot with some of the societal constraints, it was a confusing concoction of modern progressive-ness/modern homophobia & transphobia, and then 18th-19th misogyny/homophobia/transphobia that didn’t always make sense and I found that aspect taking me out of it sometimes, but also hey I love myself a queer/trans reclamation of a story/time period so I’m not all that mad about it
