“
In time, when her friends began to flirt and pursue romantic trysts,
Zova realized that while she valued and greatly enjoyed the company of
those friends, she felt no drive to find such a romantic partner for
herself.

And the iconic Shaman, Shardra Geltl?
Canon trans!
“ It’s a sorry lot for a proud dwarven daughter to be raised a miserable dwarven son, but everyone receives one lot in life, and Shardra Geltl never knew to expect better. Childhood was kind, her sisters loved her, her brother protected her, and always she had the whispers of tools and books to keep her company. Adolescence, though, came bearing heavy burdens. Her siblings moved on with their own lives, replaced by harsh teachers and taskmasters. She weathered a staggeringly awkward first kiss as her childhood best friend grew into a handsome lad, followed by a painful arranged engagement to a lovely girl from the neighboring Dechl clan. But the mines and refinery of Xolgrit fed the war machine of Rolgrimmdur far above, and militant efficiency demanded all citizen-soldiers accept and excel in their roles, no matter how miserable.
…A single tuatara waddled forward as she cradled her limb. It borrowed a tongue from the whispers and spoke. “What are you?” “I—” She opened her mouth to speak, borrowing too from those old, quiet chants. And although the whispers had a word for all things in creation, they had no words for the expectations of others. “I don’t know.”
…As Shardra’s mystical skills and budding femininity began to show, her parents lamented their loss of a son and the addition of yet another dowry. Their irritation changed to joy as their daughter’s dealings with the spirit world guided Xolgrit’s miners to rich new veins of ore and long-lost treasure troves. The Geltl clan’s fortunes reversed as Shardra’s confidence, skills, and womanhood blossomed, and eventually clans from Xolgrit and beyond offered handsome brideprices. ” - Meet the Iconics - Shardra Geltl (writer: Crystal Frasier)
(Bonus: Her backstory consistently uses female pronouns, even when referring to Shardra before her transition!)
There’s also Anevia Tirabade, an NPC rogue from the Wrath of the Righteous adventure path.
“ She was born Anvenn, a boy in a outlawed guild of thieves, then disguised herself as female while running away from law and felt that being a woman suited her best. Then the change was completed after she drank an elixir that completed the gender transformation. “ - The Worldwound Incursion (writer: Amber E Scott)
Oh, and that potion?
Funded for her by her WIFE, Irabeth Tirabade, bisexual half-orc paladin of Iomedae.
There is a reason I bother with pathfinder’s frustrating mechanics.
Even if you don’t like the game system (I do; yes, gimme ALL the specific rules and class options <3), the Golarion setting is just amazing on its own merits.
