I think the important difference between aziraphale and crowley’s relationship with gender is that like. aziraphale is simply agender. he likes presenting as male, but past that doesn’t really have a concept of gender in relation to his own identity. gender exists on a different plane of reality from which he has entirely separated himself. while crowley actively embraces the idea of gender nonconformity and deliberately uses the fact that he’s nonbinary to present however the hell he wants to. neither have a gender in the conventional human sense, but crowley has a much more involved relationship with the concept of gender exploration and presentation than aziraphale does, whose overall attitude is just like “whatever. I don’t even go here”
Something I mentioned in Names for Sides that might be of interest to people here: Crowley is wearing women’s clothes here! His scarf is draped in the style of women in the scene and he’s tightened his robe around the waist, which is what it looks like ladies are doing while the men are all letting them hang loose. Most of the women are also wearing a tunic over their robes and he isn’t though.
