** Perhaps gender presentation works differently among the Disc's vampires -- think of some other [[Literature/TheVampireChronicles slightly-built, androgynously beautiful male-identified vampires]].

** While the genderfluid aspect is implied when Jackrum notes that it's hard to tell with vampires, it could just as easily be underlining the point that what was originally a great big secret doesn't really ''matter'' at this point.
