[sythyry]

In the last poll, people seemed about evenly split between calling Sythyry male and calling zir female. Which is pretty cool for me, actually.

Still, if you put zir in a human gender stereotype, why?

Here are some features. I'm probably missing some, so I'll post another quiz at some point if I need to.

All these questions are asking, "I think that Sythyry's [feature] inclines me towards considering zir male / [feature is] irrelevant / female". Insofar as one ever knows why one makes mistakes, of course.

If I'd started with "Sythyry's Vacation" I don't know that I'd have a gender bias for Sythyry. But Sythyry's attitude towards sex in zir early journal -- specifically the AH I MUST GET LAID NOW! just screamed young male to me. I've never met a woman as desperate as Sythyry was. (Not saying they don't exist, just saying I don't know them). Sythyry never turned anyone down (except maybe Ysgwyd), which likewise strikes me as masculine.

OTOH, World Tree doesn't have STDs and contraception is trivial. Those are the two biggest biological factors that discourage casual sex in the real world. So it wouldn't surprise to see females in a World Tree setting acting more "masculine" in this sense.

Case in point: Arfaen.

OTOH, I know (well, used to know) a couple girls that (if you believe reports from 3rd parties) acted pretty much like Arfaen, complete with breaking 'open' relationships because of an inability to keep it in their pants even long enough to ask permission.
