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 499 Views
I think you could argue it's surprisingly apt. TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:31:37 AM 517 Views
I think for once you were unfairly called out on this based on your "history" TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:26:41 AM 538 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 476 Views
People are refered to by "it" all the time.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 05:26:33 PM 477 Views
But remember, human fetuses aren't people. /s *NM* TyrReborn - 13/11/2018 05:42:00 PM 337 Views
Your second example rather proves my point, don't you think? Legolas - 13/11/2018 07:50:39 PM 465 Views
and those of us defending Cannoli maintain damookster - 13/11/2018 07:59:08 PM 437 Views
I'm not really commenting on Cannoli's post.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 09:20:13 PM 462 Views
FWIW mine was concerning ambiguity Cannoli - 13/11/2018 11:01:03 PM 498 Views
Okay, sure. Legolas - 13/11/2018 11:26:58 PM 501 Views
Interesting.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 11:36:43 PM 477 Views
Because it is just contempt Roland00 - 13/11/2018 11:45:08 PM 616 Views
I think I mostly covered that above, but I can recap. Legolas - 14/11/2018 08:02:51 AM 475 Views
Who's on the phone? aerocontrols - 14/11/2018 01:53:14 AM 485 Views
Sure, I agree. Legolas - 14/11/2018 07:45:58 AM 492 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 486 Views
Except that it isn't a person, it is a character in a book HyogaRott - 14/11/2018 02:57:12 PM 466 Views

Upon reflection, I have edited the original post Cannoli - 13/11/2018 08:02:17 PM 468 Views
