From #TheTyrantBaruCormorant by #SethDickinson

Cosgrad was very confused about the concept of a non-binary identity and has just been lightly teased about believing Tau-Indi had both sets of genitals

> Cosgrad scowled stiffly. “I thought there must be a way for the parents to know if their child was a laman.”
> “Why would the parents need to know? I’ve heard from griots that some people are born that way, and it is a wonder and a difficulty. But genitals have nothing to do with choosing to be a laman.”
> “What are lamen for, then?”
> “Now? In these enlightened days? Whatever trim moves us toward.”
> “Just like anyone else,” Abdumasi interrupted. “I mean, what are you for? What about me? What are men for, really? Why don’t people with wombs just pop babies out all on their own, and live in big termite mounds? Wouldn’t that be a lot easier?”

#TauIndiBosoka is one of my favorite characters. They are absolutely delightful, super wholesome, and anyone who wishes them harm will draw my ire.
