He does not have a partner and won't in the book, but his transness is discussed to an extent. He tries to hide it from the other main characters (it's none of their business anyway) and from the school he's enrolled in for his own safety. There are a lot of varying opinions on sexuality and gender in the world of The Moth Crown, and the university Parley attends isn't the most accepting (and racist, which also works against him here). The rest of the main cast (Aveline, Marion, Kam/Carlisle) accepts him for the most part (Carlisle has the hardest time with it) and it's not a major plot point, but it acknowledges some of the struggles of trans people and the fact that they can exist anywhere at any time and it's not a problem or that person's entire character. In short, trans people exist and that's it.
