hello,

i haven't read runaways in a while, and i don't have the book on hand, but here are some panels i was able to find that i hope will be adequate:

that one is more a case for skrull society's views on gender in general, (although they mention in following dialogue that skrull society DID fit them into being a "groom" and a "prince", so i don't think all skrulls are genderfluid) but here is one more specific to xavin's identity:

here xavin explains why they don't stay in their female form all the time, even though it would make everyone else more comfortable. they only stay in their female form most of the time because that's karolina's preference. but they're not female, not all the time, at least. some times they're comfortable being female, other times they're not. (in fact, artist humberto ramos was instructed to draw xavin in different genders all throughout the story, regardless of whether it was required for the plot.) this is why i believe they should be in the genderfluid category (which already exists), and not female.

i hope this helps, and thank you for contacting me about this.
