I don't think Ash has confessed his / her situation to anyone, other than Rumisiel and Emily.

I don't know what pronoun to use for Ash. I suppose the rule is to respect a person's own choice... but Ash has not come out as transgender.

I don't know whether the comic is male to female wish fulfillment, or a female to male story, or just about coming to terms with puberty in general. There are hints that Ash will eventually accept the change and become fully female, the recent dream being one. But after so many pages and years of updates, and hints of angelic wars, I'm hoping for something more heroic.

Now I'll go back and read the previous threads and see what they thought.
