Provides an interesting portrayal of gender nonconformity (or perhaps a trans/nonbinary experience) in a way that feels very much in the period. While it's unclear what gender Robin would identify as today, seeing as there was no language to understand or express a difference between assigned sex and gender, this lack of clarity or concrete explanation if anything makes it feel more genuine.
