[QUOTE="Elipe, post: 1434705, member: 17998"] It's probably also really inconvenient for those people to point out that those "third sex" people were often thrust into social roles they wouldn't have enjoyed very much. Imagine that by some freak accident of birth where your set of genitals got mixed up, you're forced into a role of pretending to be a messenger of some deity that basically has to keep pretending that the deity is telling the king how great he is, how he's doing everything right, etc. And if you get it wrong, if a battle was lost because you gave the king bad advice (aka what he wanted to hear), you'd get killed because why would a messenger of a deity promise success but then not deliver? Keep in mind, a prophet has no honor in his own hometown. That isn't what I would call a blessing, I'd call that a curse. [/QUOTE]
