* '''Zig-Zagged''': Alice is an out trans woman, and magic considers her a woman for all intents and purposes, but Bob (who's closeted for the show's run) is only treated as such some of the time. Clyde, who's nonbinary, never seems to have the same effect twice.

** There are magical powers that 98% of cis women can access, but only 55% of trans women, and a similar statistic exists for men. Scholars of magic can't come to an agreement as to whether this invalidates the gender identity of the trans person, or the assumptions made about who has access to which powers.

* '''Deconstructed''': Bob, a cis man, has access to magical powers that are ostensibly only available to women. To his chagrin, everyone around him insists this must mean that Bob is transgender, despite him having no such inclinations. It is later revealed that those powers are not actually gender-based, but Bob is [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore so annoyed at the (in-universe) popular misconception]] that he avoids using them.

** Since only women can use witch magic and only men can use warlock magic, it's difficult for closeted trans people to hide that they're trans if they gain such powers. Situations where they have to use magic in public get them ForcedOutOfTheCloset.
* '''Reconstructed''':

** There's little to no transphobia in universe, because nobody can accuse trans people of being delusional or "not real men/women" if there's undeniable proof they're the gender they identify as. And non-binary people are held in high regard for having access to both witch and warlock magic.
