[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.

Zie is male in at least one form -- Herethroy. But I don't remember zir ever flirting or otherwise engaging in sexual behavior while Herethroy, either.

On the other hand, now that I think of it - Herethroy females are the "manly" sex, generally bigger and stronger. Males are in-between, with co-lovers having the traits humans might consider "feminine". So in a cock-eyed sort of way, even the male-as-Herethroy bit does fit into an overall pattern. Not that most primes are terribly dimorphic, however - Herethroy and Gormoror are the main ones, maybe Rassimel to some degree, and Gormoror women are tougher than the men are. (Contrast Cani and Orren, which if I got the right impression differ pretty much only in primary sex characteristics. Both are hard to tell apart without a keen nose, and in both, males can suckle infants.)

But however convoluted that thread, I think it's interesting.

This is, of course, very tangential to the point at large. But I still think it's moderately interesting.
