      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

        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.

        The whole point of gender identity is that there is no guaranteed link between a person’s sex and gender.

        Even more so with shapeshifters since they can change sex and form at will, like changing an outfit.

        A person with multiple sex characteristics could identify as nonbinary and that is completely valid.

        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.
