(...Ah, Alex is... not transgender. Alex is genderfluid, which is... it's own thing entirely and much more complicated to explain.
Jack on the other hand, is transgender (f-to-m to be specific) but Alex isn't... well... Alex feels both male and female, both one or the other depending on the time and sometimes at the same time. It's... okay, so up until recently it was considered to be a subset of transgender, but now it's considered a form of genderqueer (Alex prefers the pronoun 'ze' when unable to decide if ze is feeling more 'she' or 'he' at that moment). Check out this and this to understand it further.
...sorry to be picky about the wording you use, I'm just trying to let the information get out there because it's upsetting for many gender fluid people to be called something they're not (it's okay if he tried to explain it that way to his parents, I know it's a confusing term, of course)).
"...I see," Alex said after a moment, brows furrowed slightly. In truth she didn't - her own family was quite understand, perhaps because they had fought so hard to get her in the first place and would accept the child they had strived to adopt no matter what gender she decided she felt she was - and as such it was hard for her to understand how anyone could be cruel or could reject someone else for something as personal as gender. Wasn't that her business? She didn't see why anyone else had to get upset over it, and to separate her and Daniel just because she didn't always feel the gender she was born? Heck, sometimes Alex was very clearly male! Was she only allowed to spend time with Daniel when she was a he, according to his parents? Well. That was completely stupid!
Either way, she'd take all the chances she had to spend her time with Daniel, and pressed further against him planning to sit on his lap during the assembly and each and every break they shared together. Not being able to spend time out of school... it would suck, yeah, but she'd find ways around it.
"Well... see ya..." Deliana frowned as Rosa ran off, turning her attention instead to Daniel, who seemed to be done sharing soft touches with his girlfriend.
"Nice to meet you too! Ah, funny, I came in planning to sit with my friends from last year and I've collected a whole new round! Not that I mind, of course, always great to meet new people. Hopefully we'll know each other all year!"
