I’m not sure if it’s too late to nominate, but I saw the form is still open, so if you are still accepting nominations, I have a question. If not, feel free to disregard this message. I’d like to nominate Female Annio & Female Sesto, as well as Female Annio & Servilia from La Clemenza di Tito - Mozart/Metastasio/Mazzolà. Servilia is canonically female, so no problem there. Sesto and Annio are canonically male, but both of them are always acted/sung by women. Therefore, one could reasonably interpret them as women who have for whatever reason decided to publicly present themselves as men. The reason could be that it helps them to advance politically/be more able to do the work they want to do, so that they can be in a lesbian relationship without the social backlash, because they feel safer, or any other reason I haven’t thought of. Just to be clear, in any fanworks created for this exchange they would be treated as women and not as trans men or non binary people, although those are also interpretations that one could make.

I realize that almost certainly no one would pick this as they are from a “fandom” with 0 fanworks on the archive, but, one can hope...
