It's also quite possible that by studying dark magic extensively, gender was also something that Bramimond lost. Which would mean that both during the time of the Scouring and FE7, Bramimond was genderless. Before that, though, I would say Bramimond was male.


Also, point #3 in the OP doesn't really mean anything. Look at Lucius.

Besides, even going by looks doesn't support it 'cause he looks like a dude.

So Brammimond shaves? Or the dark magic stopped his facial hair?

One other thing that occurred to me is that Limstella is apparently genderless (and besides the hair does appear somewhat androgynous, IMO). Nergal and Brammimond seem to have gone down somewhat similar paths, so I wonder if there's some kinda connection there...I don't really know what to make of it, though.

Do you want to say that dark magic shrinks your penis, or even make it fall off?

Wasnt Limstella actually an attempt by Nergal to make a morph out of his lost wife? But somehow, Limstella ended up without a gender? Thats what i thought.

[Xiltas Shepard]

That's the first time I heard this ò.ô

[Hyde]

Nergal refers to Limstella as his "masterpiece", but there is nothing to indicate he created Limstella in the image of his wife. It seems likely that Nergal had already forgotten about his family long before he created Limstella.

Limstella is not a "tranny", you twit. ~_~

Having no biological gender is not the same as being transgendered, a transvestite, or transsexual. Stop using words you don't understand.

People keep saying that but I find it hard to swallow, "no biological gender" just sounds like another kind of tranny to me in this context.

So what you're saying is that "one becoming the other" is the same as "being neither"? That metaphorically changing the channel on the television is the same as the metaphorical television never being on in the first place? Please, enlighten us as to the ways of your little world where these significantly different concepts are one and the same.

Well, for one, you should use an accurate term and not the ambiguous tranny. And even then, transsexual and transgender individuals aren't individuals lacking a sex.

There's a crag between what you're trying to define and what you're defining it with.

Yeah, Crash, if you're going to even attempt to talk about transsexuals, could you not use offensive terms?

It's very hard for me to not rage at you right now.

The term most commonly applied to a genderless person is an Asexual person. A person who defines themselves as having no gender.

Really? Even though asexuality has nothing to do with gender roles? At best one could try and use it to denote a sexless-state, but even then, a sex exists, and gender is a step away from sex altogether.

What Crash is most likely trying to grasp is a literal sexless entity, as in, no biological, material sex whatsoever.

Whatever he's grasping at, transsexual isn't the term he's looking for.

[SeverIan]

Bramimond, however, might be considered transsexual. And also androgynous.

Pretty much. It's hard to put into words but it's basically "Tranny = Neither dude or chick" and "Genderless = Neither dude or chick" therefore "genderless = tranny".
And it just doesn't seem very different to me AND genderlessness in human seems to be counted under the transgender "umbrella" (BTW, I'm not responsible for that particular point so so don't angry with me in specific over that point)

Not really. :/

No!

Nope, he's a dude.

[eclipse]

That's not what tranny means, but I get the feeling that delving further will end badly.

I got the sense that Brammimond was male. Nothing concrete, just a sense.

[CrashGordon94]

In the most technical sense, I guess but ultimately that's how I see the result of such a change.

I believe the general catchall word is "genderqueer", but I don't keep up with the slang so I could be wrong.

Also, don't use that word, crash. It's rude.

Yeah, that's the one I heard of actually.
