    If you’re not cis you’re trans, including genderfluids.

    Generally speaking a god shape shifting at will and expressing themselves on their vibes alone isn’t just not cis, they’re the ultimate expression of transgenderism.

    You also probably shouldn’t assume that god’s default gender is male in the first place tbqh

      I don’t assume a mortal gender for any god, neither in real religions nor in fictional ones, I can’t even see how a concept like gender (or sex) even would be possible at all with a formless/shapeless entity like a god. The entity would be beyond and above our puny mortal classifications and limitations of our bodys. It would be like asking what gender water has and then saying that water is trans or genderfluid because ice sculptures in male and female form exist.

      For me the sex and/or gender of an god is: god

      But maybe my main issue is that overanalize it, I often have that problem unfortunately. I hope that I have not said anything bad or hurt/angered anyone. If it happend then only because of my limited knowledge not out of ill intend.

      I used the male form because that’s what is used in official texts in this case, so no assumption from my side.

      Thank you

          That is the issue and the source of my confusion. The god in question did not change the gender, it just created avatars. Those are sometimes created in a male form and sometimes in a female. But the god itself never changed gender (as far as I could find in the lore). Avatars are, as far as I know, entities that can be infused and controlled by the will of the god but it is not the god itself. Just like a human that controls a character in a video game, those characters are the avatars of the player but not the player himself.
