There are multiple characters publicly set on fire for spectacle, in a public execution. We do not meet these characters, nor do we see them on fire directly, so we do not know if any are women, however, it is likely some are women.

No minors are sexualised by the medium, which is what this category asks in it's description. A minor character who is never seen again sexually harrasses a character who is childlike in an adult body, and is quickly driven off by another character.

The secondary protagonists go out of their way to avoid calling an amnesiac by either of two names they think the mind in her body may have had in the past, not least because she is not that person any more.
There is some confusion over a returning character and whether they have taken an additional name to go with a title or replaced it, and whether this was of their own free will.
Towards the end, the amnesiac is called by the body's name, due to ignorance of events, and the returning character is also called by their old name.

One of the characters is a female soul living inside a male body. There is a scene in which someone else, perceiving her as a man, believes she is predatory/a pimp. However, this is not due to her being trans-coded.

Unintentionally. A character coded as a trans woman is mistaken as a man, but anyone who knows her uses the correct pronouns.

"I do want to note that there’s a beautiful dog on the cover, and that dog is the most important dog in the universe. I realize saying this compromises my artistic integrity because an unsaid central question in the book is, “Will anything go wrong for this dog?” But I lost my dog back in December, and I just want to say, nothing goes fundamentally wrong for the dog."
