How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"But I can't wear Anna's shoes," Einar said. (1.11)
Einar initially resists dressing like a woman because he would be embarrassed for his wife, or anyone really, to see him in feminine clothes. But he soon comes to embrace it. You do you.
Quote #2
"Aren't you a pretty man," she had said, years ago, when they were first alone. (1.27)
Einar always has a feminine appearance, which likely assists him in his transition. It is very easy for him to pass as female even before he has any sort of surgery.
Quote #3
One day Greta plucked her eyebrows and they never grew back, which she saw as more of a convenience than anything else. (2.3)
This is a small line, but it illustrates that Greta is a woman accustomed to having an unusual appearance. Therefore, she won't find her husband's appearance unusual when he begins to dress more femininely.
