I'm a horse now, also I'm pregnant.

I think I'll give it to dad.

Double my pregnancy and give it to the next person

And I banged this giant who is also my mom and I'd like you to meet our kids: a giant wolf, the world serpent and the Queen of hel.

[–] CitizenKong 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And dad's actually my brother too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Unless he's just my friend.

[–] VelvetStorm 7 points 10 months ago

Well it was give it to him or he is just gonna take it just like he did with the other kids.

How far into eternity does a shape shifting god just say, "fuck it, let's just have horse sex now."

[–] sulgoth 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not that far I don't think, this was just before Agard got walls.

[–] Daft_ish 1 points 10 months ago

Prob to keep loki out

Sometimes I wonder if I'm exploring myself or just an identity adhd

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I mean, either way, valid.

Know everything else, what's "both"?

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan 37 points 10 months ago

AFAIK non-binary can be both or neither

The last panel on its own could be one of a few different things.

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/types-of-gender-identity

Androgyne

A person who identifies as androgyne has a gender that is either both masculine and feminine or between masculine and feminine.

Bigender

A person who identifies as bigender has two genders.

People who are bigender often display cultural masculine and feminine roles.

Polygender and pangender

People who identify as polygender or pangender experience and display parts of multiple genders.

But I think Genderfluid is still correct for the last panel in the context of the comic as a whole.

Genderfluid

A person who identifies as genderfluid has a gender identity and presentation that shifts between, or shifts outside of, society’s expectations of gender.

Would you care to consider a hermaphroditic body as an option?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait a minute, I can be a FUTA IN REAL LIFE?!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yup! It's a thing, if youve already got a penis I think its called something like phalus sparing vaginoplasty. That should at least point you in the right direction

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Wow, thank you for the info!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Sure, but Loki, being a shape-shifting trickster god, can probably manage that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also even in the case of beings with shapeshifting powers, genitalia are irrelevant to gender identity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Yep, that sounds right.
