"I have never thought of myself as a woman, and I have never been treated as one."
"I had heard tales that Drake, the admiral who broke the back of the invincible Spanish Armada, had in truth been a woman more gallant than any man. That the man who set the sun had, in fact, been the woman who set the sun."
— Erice Utsumi, Fate/Requiem
Rin: Why are you a woman?

Drake: Who says they didn't notice? I know that modern culture enjoys a little yuri action, but back then there were things that you had to hide, especially when you were working for someone who's the head of the Church of England. [smirks] I could show you just how I convinced my wives to stay around and keep quiet if you'd like.
