gender under the qun
tbh the idea of qunari having their jobs be their gender is so fascinating and it sucks that it’s so muddled in canon becuz it’s written by overworked creatives who struggle with conceptualizing social constructs outside their limited framework.
like they claim gender (as male/female) is a secondary trait to one’s role under the qun, but that’s bullshit. they still have binary genders assigned at birth, and that gender heavily influences what role they are given (women go into the priesthood, men become warriors, ben-hassrath can be both, etc.) which is bioessentialist crap, and sure they allow for trans ppl (eg “Aqun-athlok”) like “if you’d REALLY rather be a different role you can do that”, and that’s cool but it’s still pretty limited thinking.
i wanna take this concept all the way.
