Summary
Out of all individual Buffy episodes, the most frequently fanfic’ed is Halloween. Of those fanfics, a lot of them turn Xander into a girl and then just have Xander ‘get used to it’ with no further explanation. Whiiiiich seems a little problematic. Still, it’s worth considering:
How would the series actually change if Xander was trans the whole time?
I’ve read a few ‘what if Buffy was trans’ fics, and a couple ‘what if Faith was trans’ fics, but I haven’t actually seen many (or any) fanfics that explore the Xander option.
Xander is very insecure about his manliness. Very insecure. This is a story about one possible reason.
So, Halloween will be a catalyst for this fic, but it’s not where it starts.
It all starts with the new girl at Sunnydale High.Series

Summary
Xander waited for Spike to get up, but when Spike still hadn't moved he kicked the vampire in the side.
“Piss off.” The pile of black leather muttered in answer.
“I was about to when I had to save your ass.”
Spike lifted his head wearily, blinking at Xander. “Harris, that you?”
“C'mon get up.” Xander extended a hand which Spike grudgingly took. When he stood his knees started shaking suddenly and he fell forward into Xander.
“Ah, bloody hell!”
“Hey, what gives?” Xander huffed, annoyed at the vampire all up in his personal space.
“I can't stand obviously.” Spike huffed. He dug his fingers into Xander's jacket to steady himself. He blinked a few times trying to focus on Xander's face. When he did he glowered. “I'm going to need your help.”
