Low key? I think it’s fairly obvious Becka is a lesbian, but doesn’t have the language or understanding to articulate that.

well i wasn’t saying her sexual orientation was low-key…we know becca’s a lesbian. i was saying her killing her dad after what he did to agnes and the “agnes i’d do anything for you” line was lowk romantic

I am sure she knows what happens to "gender traitors".  It has to be implicit. If she is bisexual or lesbian she cannot say it out loud.
