I'm definitely writing up a trans* character, I'm in the process of trying to work out the specifics at the moment!
Hey Felix, I'm going to add onto this, since my own character doesn't fall on the spectrum of male or female, though he identifies as male. Robert was born intersexed, and has struggled with hiding not only this secret of his gender, but his own sexuality as well. It was much more a challenge when he was a student, and he wasn't talented with spells, as Izzy suggested. Now he's able to transfigure himself as a male, so there's less worry than when he was younger.
I can point you to Robert's profile if you wanted to get a gist of language and description that would be considered site appropriate. I think it'd be easy for you to play a trans character and stay without our guidelines! I'd love to see a character fit into the time period as well, it'd definitely be really awesome!
