feotakahariFascinated by the idea of a society that has at least five genders and freely allows transition, but also has massive unexamined amatonormativity.
Curious what Sif, an outsider, makes of his own gender classification as masculine neuter. Did he pick it himself? Does it fit him, or is it simply a convenient label to prevent further questioning? Was this his best way of expressing that he’s asexual (a concept this society doesn’t seem to have?) What were genders like in the homeland he no longer remembers?
While I’m at it, do these people allow switching from masc to fem or vice versa without physical change? There’s definitely social pressure on maidens of the Change God to use transformation magic on themselves, but I’m not sure how that works for common folks . . .
I feel like I may have missed the point of what this worldbuilding was actually meant to do.
