In the short story White Water, Blue Ocean by Linda Raquel Nieves Perez, the protagonist's family suffers from a curse where the women can't lie, and the men can't fall in love.

My mom once got told by a psychic that she'd have a boy and a girl. But then they corrected themself in confusion that she'd have another girl sometime later, and that something was different/special about this correction that they couldn't fully make out.
Turned out to be very true...
Not that I believe in that stuff but it's a neat little anecdote this reminded me of.
Daughter: Mom, Dad. I'm... I'm a girl.
Dad: MOTHERFUCKING FAIRIES! Not you honey, sorry I didn't mean to yell. You've done nothing wrong.

In the Supergirl tv show, there's a hero called Dreamer. Basically, the powers are passed down from mother to daughter, and while everyone accepts Dreamer as a girl, they're surprised when she inherits the powers and not her sister.

This is, in the vaguest sense, similar to how Dreamer worked in the Supergirl show, just with less acceptance by her family. Not familiar enough with the character to know if that's true outside of the show as well.

This sound like some Margaret Killjoy level stuff.
I'm sure there's something like this in greek mythology.
Bridget in Guilty Gear XX
Wouldn't that be a trans boy? I thought we were supposed to call people what they are inside.
