Being trans has nothing to do with appearance or pronouns. I'm agender but I use she/her pronouns and have a female appearance. I'm still agender. I'm still trans.

Being trans is about seeing yourself as something other than what you've been told you are. Gems are genderless and not female at all by default. But if a Gem says "hey, I'm female" and means it, she is no longer genderless. She identifies differently. That's what being trans is.
