Shapeshifters Do It for a Change: Difference between revisions

Some people might question what the normal concepts of gender and sexuality even mean to a shapeshifter; others just find the idea that the cute girl they're flirting with is sometimes a ''guy'' [[Shapeshifting Squick|somewhat offputting]].

** [[Eberron]]'s Changelings also display this.

*** In one chapter of OKShark's Eberron story, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3703661/1/Eberron_Welcome_to_the_Jungle "Welcome to the Jungle,"] one of the protagonists, a female changeling named Sam, talks about how her father actually gave birth to her due to getting pregnant in female form after picking the short straw and having to seduce a senior Thranish diplomat who was infatuated with Cousin Ailia as part of a plot to secure some incriminating correspondence for blackmail purposes. Her lover Neana (the other protagonist), is rather squicked about the whole thing. Since Neana is very much a lesbian, Sam does not take male form when the two of them get intimate.

* Partially Inverted in ''[[Rifts]]'', where Changeling NPCs (which are otherwise gender-neutral) are often said to "Identify" with a single gender, which basically means that the forms they tend to change into will usually be only one gender unless they need to be the other.

* Lunars in ''[[Exalted]]'' are often seen as being like this. Part of it is [[Memetic Mutation]], but there is at least one canonical Lunar who's been switching sexes on such a regular basis for so long that s/he now no longer either knows or cares which s/he started out as.
