In retrospect i think you're probably right, that i should read Lord Fanny as a drag queen rather than a transsexual woman. I think what drew me to the first position is that her backstory resonated so much and has a strong transsexual component.

I think the comparison/contrast is fair to the extent of, how did Gaiman vs. Morrison handle the question of the character's male birth gender with regards to menstrual magic, and what were both authors using their male-born female-identified characters to say.
