AI generated a story where Hu Tao is MtF trans...

>Hu Tao swallowed hard. "The body I was given at birth... it was a contract I never signed. It was wrong. It felt like a poorly fitted suit for a funeral I was forced to attend every single day."

>Another firework, this one blue and silver, illuminated the stark honesty on her face.

>"I'm a woman, Yanfei. I always have been. I just... had a rather inconvenient starting point." She gave a weak, shaky version of her trademark grin. "The chest? Padded. Very cleverly, if I do say so myself. The rest... I've been on a regimen of herbal hormones from Baizhu at Bubu Pharmacy. He's discreet, for a price. And I'm saving up. Not for a standard procedure. I'm saving for an adeptus."

>Yanfei’s professional composure had melted away entirely, replaced by stunned silence. She wasn't looking at the fireworks anymore.

>"There's an adeptus," Hu Tao continued, her voice gaining a sliver of its old energy, a fantastical hope cutting through the fear. "One who retreated from the world not out of spite, but to pursue a healing art beyond mortal comprehension. They can... reshape flesh to match the spirit. It's my dream. My opera. My final, grand performance to become wholly, completely me."

>Hu Tao finally ran out of words, her confession hanging in the air between them, more fragile and terrifying than any lantern. She braced for confusion, for questions, for the awkwardness that could shatter a friendship.

>Yanfei was silent for a long moment, her gaze thoughtful. Then, she did something Hu Tao never expected. She smiled, a genuine, warm, and utterly compassionate smile.

>"Hu Tao," she said, her voice soft but clear, cutting through the festival's din. "The law, at its heart, is about justice. And justice is about people living as their truest selves, without harm or hindrance. Your truth doesn't break any contract I care about. In fact, it honors the most important one: the one with yourself."
