When I started watching the series, I had this doubt. As the three seasons went by, I came to the conclusion that she was simply a woman.

There was a character in the Fallout series, Dane, and I completely missed the fact that they were non-binary. I thought they were more of a tomboy character, but no—the character is non-binary, and the actor is a trans man, if I’m not mistaken.

I want to know if I was the only one who thought Erica might be the same case.

It’s weird to say because I usually try not to make assumptions about people, but sometimes I feel rude for not noticing these things sooner.

    I forgot about being the knight of a fantasy book during that episode, well, that something else who make me doubt she was a female.

      Doubt why? Unless they are actually labeling her as trans or non-binary in the show there shouldn’t be any reason to doubt what she presents herself as. In Discovery they had a non-binary character (Adira) and addressed it head-on before SNW was even airing.

        My doubt it was if she was a woman with short hair or actually a transgender man.

        Not all person introduce as trans, so I feel like a fool when I find out Dane in Fallout was a man, I thought it was a woman with short hair like the case of Erica.

          I’m sure this is a cultural/language thing, but saying you “felt like a fool” sounds pretty odd. Nobody is trying to trick you here. These people are just living their lives and working as actors. Their gender identity shouldn’t really matter toward the character or story unless the show wants to specifically highlight it like in the case of DSC.
