Three things left out of They and They because there wasn't enough space or it was slowing things down too much:
1. Ed's DJ handle is Part LoFi.
2. The other genderqueer kids that Dana meets at Hanging Out, who form something of an informal support group. If this had been a novel, with more breathing room, they totally would have remained, with the way that Dana helps one kid ending up helping them in turn.
3. A scene of Dana explaining that their fantasy novel is set in a world with three biological sexes (male, female, and neuter thale) and five gender identities (three corresponding to the sexes, one 'between' them, and one 'beyond' them) -- and that the protagonist, Kel, is thale (pronouns they/them/their) with a body that matches Dana's own self-image. They then admit, to their fumbling embarrassment, that Kel is in many ways an authorial self-insert. It was realizing this that made Dana decide, even before Peter's critique, that they'd never submit the novel to publishers.
