Gender

In terms of his gender, Tyson is definitely male, but it’s not a strong part of his identity.

Tyson is Jewish. Getting him to admit it is like pulling blood from a stone, but Tyson is polyamorous, romantically bi, and sexually gay. Tyson is loyal to a fault.Tyson is a scholar in his heart of hearts, endlessly curious, and a mathematical prodigy. Tyson is Icarus. Tyson is too stubborn to die. Tyson is a walking contradiction.

Those are facts. Core tenants of his character. Male is very much an afterthought in his identity. It shaped who he is certainly, and events with Tyson’s father and The Colonel would have played out incredibly differently if he weren’t male, but equally, it’s not a part of Tyson that matters to him.
