Would you care to consider a hermaphroditic body as an option?
I think that is a separate circumstance all together. A person with multiple sex characteristics could have any possible gender identity like any other person. The whole point of gender identity is that there is no guaranteed link between a person's sex and gender. A person with multiple sex characteristics could identify as nonbinary and that is completely valid.
There are also non-binary affirming sex surgeries as well. Even if you weren't born with both, it is still possible to have both. I think it's pretty neat how far gender affirming care has come! We're on our way to completely shedding the old conceptions of binary sex and gender despite reactionaries
Wait a minute, I can be a FUTA IN REAL LIFE?!
Yup! It's a thing, if youve already got a penis I think its called something like phalus sparing vaginoplasty. That should at least point you in the right direction
Wow, thank you for the info!
Sure, but Loki, being a shape-shifting trickster god, can probably manage that.
Yes, it is separate and i meant it as such in a 'why settle for less when you can be more' kind of way.
How so? They are a shapeshifter, I don't think intersex forms would be off limits if gender swapping and animals/non-humans are fine.
Even more so with shapeshifters since they can change sex and form at will, like changing an outfit.
Still true, it's just a bit different with shapeshifters because they can change their form in ways most people can't.
I was referring to human persons, not ice giant persons with shapeshifting powers. Which is what I assumed the question I was answering was referring to since they were responding to a comment I wrote that was answering a question that I assume refers to human persons.
Also even in the case of beings with shapeshifting powers, genitalia are irrelevant to gender identity.
I would say it's even more irrelevant in that case, since shapeshifters can change their body and appearance at will, as easily as changing clothes.
