[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 8681288, member: 28487"] Ok I have no issue with that. Well that is your take and fair enough it is your setting and world building. Work away. I brought up my takes with regard to elf world building as indicating where I was coming to this with regard to a conversation about world building but I would not have multiple methods of reproduction in a setting unless one of the alternatives was some kind of plot point. Ok fair enough. I think that [USER=59082]@Mercurius[/USER]'s point is that the business of cis/trans or other orientations of elves is something too human. And I would agree. The whole LGTBQ+ and the oppression that the Pride movement is struggling against is a result of purely human things. A large part of which is the politics of inheritance, with some complications, the details are not really germane to the topic but are very human and rooted in the nature of humans. Also connected to the fact that child rearing in humans is a lifetime project. 20 to 30 years out of 70 odd. Half elves raised as humans may start out as very human but after 100 years or so, I suspect they gain some perspective. The key thing that I and I think elves that live to be 700 years plus and can raise children in 30 are going to any of our human hang-ups. They may have some completely different hang-ups. [/QUOTE]
