Something 🫣
Added 2024-03-11 11:32:46 +0000 UTCI think something needs to be explained, at least in words, so that you can better understand what is happening in some of the art. In the world of Nodes, there are creatures that are not tied to any gender or sex. Deities can change their genitals and body parts at their whim, some Tvar’s can also change their gender, and there are creatures that initially have a bisexual body system. Gender Differences and Privilege is more a story about those people who do not recognize magic, living in “civilized worlds” with castles and internecine politics. Roughly speaking, homophobia, sexism and chauvinism are more about the oppressors and those whom they oppress (classical human value system).
If a creature that cannot influence its body given at birth wants to change something in it, it can turn to magicians or Putanits. Not for free, not without consequences, but there will be results.
Therefore, you may see some characters with characteristic scars on their bodies or strange-looking genitals.
Vaster is a Pitanitsa and there is no definition of "gender" for it. His husband, Vittor, a former woman, went through not the best ritual to change his body and struggled with dysphoria for a long time until he realized that Vaster did not care about such conventions. Feeling like themselves around each other is what they value most about each other.
