The reactions of the characters of the book are based on the character's perception. As a reader, we are privileged to know the totality of that character.

Precisely, so there's no ambiguity.


Based on that totality, "it" is appropriate based on the context.

No, it is not. I'm not sure what relevance Aran'gar being a character has to do with anything.

This is exactly why the knee-jerk response was so amusing. damookster - 13/11/2018 01:18:28 AM 540 Views
I think you could argue it's surprisingly apt. TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:31:37 AM 573 Views
I think for once you were unfairly called out on this based on your "history" TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:26:41 AM 597 Views

I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. You don't refer to people by 'it'. Legolas - 13/11/2018 08:09:34 AM 528 Views
People are refered to by "it" all the time.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 05:26:33 PM 531 Views
But remember, human fetuses aren't people. /s *NM* TyrReborn - 13/11/2018 05:42:00 PM 363 Views
Your second example rather proves my point, don't you think? Legolas - 13/11/2018 07:50:39 PM 532 Views
and those of us defending Cannoli maintain damookster - 13/11/2018 07:59:08 PM 479 Views
I'm not really commenting on Cannoli's post.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 09:20:13 PM 508 Views
FWIW mine was concerning ambiguity Cannoli - 13/11/2018 11:01:03 PM 541 Views
Okay, sure. Legolas - 13/11/2018 11:26:58 PM 552 Views
Interesting.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 11:36:43 PM 515 Views
Because it is just contempt Roland00 - 13/11/2018 11:45:08 PM 669 Views
I think I mostly covered that above, but I can recap. Legolas - 14/11/2018 08:02:51 AM 535 Views
Who's on the phone? aerocontrols - 14/11/2018 01:53:14 AM 531 Views
Sure, I agree. Legolas - 14/11/2018 07:45:58 AM 536 Views
Aran'gar does not, and doesn't have to represent, trangender people for your usage to be wrong fionwe1987 - 13/11/2018 03:21:42 PM 541 Views
Except that it isn't a person, it is a character in a book HyogaRott - 14/11/2018 02:57:12 PM 521 Views

Upon reflection, I have edited the original post Cannoli - 13/11/2018 08:02:17 PM 515 Views
