I'm aware. My point is that Makkari being female might have something to do with him/her/them coming back to life, and not necessarily the character being trans.
The CBR article says pretty directly that is Makkari. They were the ones who received the exclusive cover from Marvel, so... unless they got the wrong info, I'm assuming that's true. The character design IS a lot closer to previous Makkari designs than Titanis'.
I don't know why, but my first thought was that it was Elysius there, not Sersi. I guess because modern Sersi has been depicted with the green thing on her hair, maybe... but it could be her. She's definitely more high profile than Elysius.
