Just wondering, how feasible is it that Yara is a trans girl? (with some points as I am a believer)

Was rereading the book series, and I just finished book 2! This is something that I've just been thinking about a lot.

Just gonna list out some key things from books 1&2

Book 1: Trying to conform to masculinity

+ Constantly trying to emulate Tedros, the embodiment of perfect masculinity and princely behavior at the School for Good

+ Chasing after Beatrix, the ideal girl in the School for Good, like every other Everboy

+ At the Trial for Tale, asking out Kiko (as she clearly has feelings, and again, is expected behavior)

Book 2: More freedom

+ Tedros is no longer the gold standard, as he is the cause for the shameful situation the School for Boys find themselves in (although Yara still stays a friend)

+ Yara is an outsider at both the School for Boys and Girls, but at Boys feels out of place and disliked while at Girls, is recognized for who she is, even though other girls still speculate and gossip about her unique traits (kinda i guess you could look at it as not being able to fully pass? *but also she is also a "new" student at the school)

+ Aric (evil gay{?} but definitely has a STRONG dislike for girls) always hated her

+ When she is dying, she says "I'm not Yara," which I view as her saying that they know her by a different name, even if it is not necessarily the name that she prefers (and specifically chooses not to use in the sentence)

+ She also thanks Tedros for supporting her and being a good friend

+ Part of my thoughts too is that literally every person in the School for Boys hated the place, but Yara is the only one to go to the School for Girls, and is willing to be used by Dean Sader just to be able to exist as a girl in the school

+ But in the end, this is all just speculation, and it's not like anything is officially confirmed (at least nothing that I know about)

Really new to Kali Uchis, any song recommendations similar to "Muévelo"?

Was listening to Spotify, and Muévelo came up as a suggested song, and I immediately fell in love! Just wondering what other songs she has similar to it, or just songs that you like from her in general? I personally really like what would maybe described as dance/party songs, but I'm open to literally any genre of music!

edit: seems like everyone is saying i should go listen to mainly the orquideas album, so i'll definitely get to that when i have time! ty everyone!

LGBT Recommendations free on YouTube

Haven't really used youtube's free stuff that often and also don't watch tv shows/movies that often, but just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for lgbt tv shows/movies that are free on youtube, or just other recommendations in particular as I would like to watch a lot of things when I have free time this summer.

*Was considering whether to tag this US/UK specific, but I don't know how much movies/tv shows are geoblocked, as I am in both countries quite often*

One of my biggest icks TT

Okay, I was reading City of Glass, and I just got to the part where Alec kisses Magnus. I find them really cute, HOWEVER it is literally one of my biggest icks, especially in lgbt stories, when characters that are on a "break" just decide to end it by just kissing their partner in one somewhat romantic public moment. It's just so weird to me, especially too in their case because they'd stopped seeing each other because Alec wasn't out AND also his crush on. Jace, but unless I missed it, I haven't really seen any progression in their relationship demonstrating that they have resolved these glaring issues. Also, Magnus's reaction just seems shocked...IDK, maybe this gets resolved later, but it is still an ick.
