Creator's Notes

Is it particularly likely that a trans person would just happen to be intersex in a way that closely aligns with their actual gender and mimics to an extent the changes a perisex trans person of the same assignment would get on hormone replacement therapy? No. Is it possible? Yes. Does it allow me to write a trans dude in an Age of Sail story who is living out my personal transition goals? Hell yes. (Did I start writing this story around the time I actually started HRT? That is also a yes.)

I mean what, like pirate stories are super accurate, realistic period pieces anyway.

Huge thanks to our illustrious editorial team for helping me, mmm, file some serial numbers down a little more.
