[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.

Okay, that happens once in a while. But for me, there doesn't seem to be a pattern (i.e. always slipping the same way for a given character) unless the pronoun set is really close to either "he" or "she."

Which is exactly the problem I have. A number of the pronouns used for non-male-or-female genders, including the one used in the World Tree material, are somewhat similar in appearance and very similar in structure to the feminine "she". I don't think I've ever called Sythyry male, and the times when I have said "she"(usually in actual spoken conversation, not very often typed), it's not because of a gender bias on my part but because of a language slip.
