so where does that leave us with gnomes? well! in nature, gnomes have clear sexual dimorphism and different functions within their colonies, which dwarves will have observed and described. so they would certainly have different words for that. but domesticated gnomes complicate it.

there's some slight sexual dimorphism in teeth (men have very slightly longer canines on average, a relic of sexual dimorphism in other apes) but like 90% of the shit here is not real at all lol

Sexual dimorphism may be a mug's game. Most of us are somewhat pear-shaped. Or summer squash?

No that means you just discovered Nightcrawler sexual dimorphism. The female ones need the pockets to carry their jortlings.

Gender dimorphism - used the wrong term. 👍🏻🖖🏻

Over the last two years my socks have begun to trend towards significant dimorphism. Either thigh-highs or ankle and lower, nothing in between.
Evolutionary biologists what force is driving these changes?

The ignorant majority are really killing us on this one. Otherwise progressive people know fuck-all about transexuality and vote based on a vague notion of sexual dimorphism and "fairness in sports". There's also still a chance the supreme court of WA can overturn it as discrimination.

Who do you headcanon as trans masc in the game?
don't care how """farfetched""" it is, or if it's just for your own enjoyment, I wanna see!!!

idk maybe it is a gendered thing for white people... maybe you people do have more sexual dimorphism /i am joking but anyway ime making my lips look thinner and mouth shape narrower w makeup actually helps feminize my overall face

feel like i really am gonna have to create the amazing new nonbinary gender of "woman, but from an alternate universe where the remainders of sexual dimorphism in humans is different in many aspects but not all"

South American Sea Lions are a case study of dimorphism - males are 3X the size of females. This particular bull spotted years ago in the Beagle Channel may have been even larger.

Not only their ignorance, but also their vehement attempts to remain ignorant in a world where intersex is pretty common knowledge if you pay attention in highschool.
And intersex isn't a mutation like they push, either. All species with sex organs have dimorphism built in. It's why HRT works lol

idk how someone can argue sex is made up considering its the basis of human dimorphism... gender i kinda agree with but thats also because of my human experience,, sex is quite literally the state of your body, gender is more mental

This is dental surgery I can get behind 🙂↕️
Why didn't we evolve sexual dimorphism where girls get fangs??? I was robbed

Andro/Gynomorph are Zoology terms, largely referring to sexual mimicry which is a reproductive strategy where one sex (typically a male) mimics the chemical signals, behaviors, or appearance of an opposite sex for access to mates.
They also are used to describe specific sexual dimorphism.

Teeth is one of those things that don’t really have sexual dimorphism.

Real talk, the experience of being a hyena in the fandom is people openly calling you smelly and/or asking/explaining in great detail about a particular part of Hyena dimorphism.
Actually had a lady in the game room at mff ask me if my Sona gets pegged by the matriarch one year.

Gonna gush real quick, I love how Fairbanks created some interesting sexual dimorphism traits in this species that will also lend itself to interesting androgynous/gender-nonconforming characters 🥰🥰
another thing i should mention about these guys is that while i originally threw them in my D&D campaign setting, they're intended to be system agnostic!
Pathfinder? go ahead!
Daggerheart? WHY NOT!?
Starfinder? THEY'RE LITERALLY ALIENS!!!
want to just make one as an OC? go right ahead!

what's this? ALIENS? in HIGH FANTASY!?!? it's more likely than you think! (seriously take a close look at WoW and D&D)
INTRODUCING THE ARAIME! an alien species i've been cooking since 2015. hopefully you all like them too!

Honestly, the specific difficulties and the things that help...I thought they'd make me feel the impostor but instead it's made me marvel at how small a distance sexual dimorphism can be and a lot of the difficulties women have with sex make *even more sense*.
