Hmm. This poll brings up the strange fact that the Tree's universe doesn't seem to have any taboos at all about sexual preference by gender/sex. It seems odd that the gods would leave this feature out, as though they wanted to experiment with the idea from another angle by allowing for inter-species taboos. I'd also bet there's at least one non-prime race out there that does have such a rule.

About your questions, there's also the scenario of what happens if a person is inadvertently changed, and what happens to a relationship then.

Well, Gormoror generally prefer the opposite sex, and Zi Ri generally prefer the same sex.

Aside from that, if you're already excluding at least 3/4 of the population based on species, do you really want to cut your odds in half-or-so further?

In any case, I don't think that the gods had much to do about the matter. I think we arranged our civilization on generally-sensible lines ourselves.

So how weird are Gormorror that prefer the same sex and species considered? Do they tend to be ostracized in their tribes for many of the tribal type Gormorror? How about city Gormorror?

"Teased" more than "ostracized". Also they have fairly limited prospects for mates. They don't wind up in Castle Wrong anyhow -- unlike traff Gormoror.

Well if a pair of, say, male Gormorror came to castle wrong saying that their particular tribe was really upset about their relationship because of their gender (because I am sure SOME tribes think it is a bigger deal than others!), would you accept them as wrongfolk, or would they be 'not wrong enough'?

It depends on how friendly they seemed, I suppose, or how doomed. We like doom here.
