#i didnt want to do a basic 2-sex system for these aliens. they're not descended from anything on earth. their dna is WACK.#sooooo... what if each form was a sex :)#alsooo consider...#Proteans: 'oh cool yall have around 2 sexes too?'#Humans: 'yeah! theres social roles and different language cases 'n everything for them! we call all that 'gender'!'#Proteans: 'huh. sounds kinda tiring to switch between that every single time you change sex. is it really that important to focus on?'#Humans: '...well most of us...dont do that very often??'#Proteans: '...i think theres been a mistranslation'#shitpost#they're changing sex technically not gender. i dont mean to steal genderfluid peoples modus operandi#maybe some proteans are genderfluid when they integrate into human society.#idk man i just recently learned theres no difference between an egg and a sperm other than whichevers got more nutrients packed with it#still trying to absorb that. it's just... so arbitrary#i mean. sex and gender are arbitrary even within a human framework. but the words we use for THE FOUNDATION OF LIFE ON EARTH are arbitrary#character design#speculative biology
