But in the end this appearance could happen, yet it is not gender related. Thats a rather human thing for many to need visuals do define genders. Yes I know many in our community add "female" visuals on the florans, such as breasthills, which I do find a bit weird since it doesn't fits to the unisex description. But we have set up the "butt rubbing" thing because we imagined that as funny looking yet possible way within the given lore how two floran individuals can mix their genes. Could be they just both pee on the ground to do so. Could be that they just "merge" 2 of their cells somehow (as in buttrubbing ). But there has to be some kind of "event" which exchanges genetical informations They may not even be gender related. So in the end, yes maybe they just can do this without pollen and pistril. Maybe partially they can do this, but their visual diversity indicates thet they have a way to mix their genes and individual savages would be very simlar in their view. But the florans have very distinctive ways in their appearance that shows they have ways to mix their genetics, if they would reproduce by plants in earthlike genderless ways, they would just create clones of themselves. Sure plants have many ways to reproduce genderless form themselves. Unisex is a description of not having gender related appearence. I do not identify myself as a male, My genes do these. of course male and female are "given" words for this, but it changes nothing about the fact of the genetical roles of the XY combination distinguising form the role of the XX combinated individual as human. It's entirely non sexually related "production".Īnd "gender" is not a social thing, gender is a genetical identification, if you have a XY chromoson combination as a human, your are male by genetics, if you have not you are female. Thiw woudl also count for the gitch, yet they are not described as "unisex" they are just 2 individuals meeting and constructing a new glitch. And that also why there is no symbol for female or male. So this knowledge is some "SB development history". I just don't have the quote available yet. Though it is proper to use the terms this way.Ĭlick to expand.First answer, the reason why we can choose "*gender*" or flowers is, just a flower color placeholder, because technical issues caused the devs to create it that way, which the devs said somewhere already. The terms are commonly used interchangeably. Why do you think there's a neither option in the account creator. You are born with a sex, and by culture you are given a gender, masculine or feminine as said above. Gender is what you identify yourself with, masculine, feminine or neuter. What if I told you gender is social construct? Think about it. I don't want turn this into my old floran biology thread. Sooooooo don't inforce specific earth aspects to aliens.

I'm not saying they cannot be bisexual, its equally possible for the Florans to be bisexual or having the male/female sexes.

Florans having full characteristics from plants does make sense. If so then the Florans would be mixotrophs. If not from a grounded plant, then possibly Florans are animals or half and half of plant and animals. Florans would have to develop many things exclusive to animals. Confused? Well lets say they did evolve from a grounded plant.

Just saying.Īngiosperm organs being in a anus sounds ridiculous!įlorans would not be categorized as a plant, if or if not originally from a grounded plant. The respawn for the races may not be an exact representation of their birth. I would think florans are born from seed/egg things. So florans could have males and females, but dont have the gender construct. Flowering plants are one of the very few that use pollen for reproduction. Broadly saying plants use pollen to reproduce is wrong. The definition also clearly states (for flowering plants) that each flower has either a stamen or pistil. Unisex does not imply having both reproductive organs. I identify as an Apache attack helicopter. Though it is proper to use the terms this way.
