[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8681351, member: 58172"] Identity groups that lack oppression also have flags, banners, and symbols to celebrate their shared identity. Some of the sexual themes derive from the reallife lore about elves and similar nature beings. I agree some caution is necessary here. Even so, reallife festivals to celebrate love, sex, and reproduction are important in many reallife cultures. This is a normal human phenomenon. Some individuals are "anatomy blind", and the shapes of primary anatomical features and secondary anatomical characteristics, are irrelevant to how one self-identifies and relates to an intimate partner. At the same time, there are individuals who are "gender blind", who have a deep sense of bodily experience that informs their self-identity and partnership. There are several variables in play in human identity. The human spectrum includes both such individuals. In some reallife cultures, nonbinary are thirdgender. In the elven flag, an intersex person may identify as nonbinary, man, or woman. Only the individual can know who oneself is. Note. Individuals are diverse. For examples. There are masculine females who identify as a woman. There are masculine females who identify as a man. There are masculine females who identify as nonbinary. Historically, culture often utilizes gender for organizational purposes. Nevertheless, the gender of an individual (which is probably genetic since it usually stabilizes by the time children are about three years old), is distinct from activities that a cultural community might assign to a gender. The flag includes distinct identities, whether individuals within it are constant or fluid. [/QUOTE]
