Androgyne is the Aardwolf neutral (non-binary) gender. In-game actions
and commands will use they/them/their pronouns for characters with this
gender.
After adding a non-binary / neutral gender into Aardwolf, we had some fairly
long conversations about what to call it. Neutral was too easily confused
with Neutral alignment. We had 'genderless' for a while and it just seemed
too bland. The Wikipedia description for 'Androgyne' fits exactly what we
want to accommodate and also has a "kind of RPG" feel to it:
"An androgyne is a person who does not fit cleanly into the typical
gender roles of [their] society. Androgynes may identify as beyond
gender, between genders, moving across genders, entirely genderless, or
any combination or all of these. Androgyne identities include pangender,
bigender, ambigender, nongendered, agender, gender fluid, or intergender.
Androgyny can be either physical or psychological; it does not depend on
birth sex and is not limited to intersex people."
"An androgyne may or may not look androgynous. Someone who looks
androgynous may or may not be an androgyne. A "psychological androgyne"
is one term for a person who has an androgynous gender identity, but
doesn't necessarily look androgynous."
