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?

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

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

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

Wow, thank you for the info!

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

[–] Lath@kbin.earth 5 points 8 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.

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.

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

[–] Draconic_NEO@pawb.social 3 points 8 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.
