Hi mods, I appreciate that last paragraph.

Chiming in, I would buy (or support) a reading of Crowley as not male from the miniseries material and word of god, but I'll admit my initial reaction was to side-eye his inclusion here. Aziraphale/Crowley as a ship (that I love) has been historically such an entrenched *slash* ship that it feels disengeuious to try and fit Crowley into the parameters of a femslash exchange just because the argument can be made.

So my feeling was that he definitely qualifies--or that's not a label I feel comfortable policing closely--but that unless the nominator's goal in nomming is for participants to explore his genderqueerness, then they're not meeting the spirit of the exchange and there are plenty of other venues available.

Anyway since I started typing this... I still feel like there are other venues, but OP sounds like they've really thought about why they want who they've picked, and I've actually switched from my knee-jerk "oh no" to a yes, bring it. Lol. Miniseries Crowley does get in-canon nods to genderfluidity in a canon branch that went out of its way to be more representative and I think it's subtle but deliberate enough that he should be includable, assuming best intentions from everyone involved.
