The Character Romance thread (Official)

Something tells me the devs are going to be having a long talk with the marketing department after this...

Right? Monogendered. Mono. One. Not agendered? But since they have no concept of gender, because there are no "males" or technically "females", shouldn't they all be agendered? They can't be females. They look female, sure, but that's according to humans. 

Oh just fuck everything. Fuck it!

The way I think about it, it would have to depend on their interactions with other species. If they maybe grew up and/or spend a whole lot of time around male and female humans, like maybe raised by human parents or something, or raised around transgender humans, then I could think that... maybe there could be transgender asari? It's definitely a big stretch for me to think about. Because yes, there should be no male asari if you look at just their culture, they should have no concept of male at all. But an asari who's grown up around human culture might be able to identify with masculinity that they would see in humans versus femininity in humans. This would be an asari who's detached from their own culture. I don't know if that makes sense... because that asari would definitely be treated as female by humans around them, but especially if around transgender female-to-male humans, could think they want to be seen more like men and identify with those transgender ftm humans. Does that make sense at all? I don't know if I'm putting this into words well.

Everyone, just take a deep breath and remember that the files the dataminers found would not have been left in if Jaal were straight. It would just create a huge mess if they were remnants of cut content.

I'm sorry I really regret to reveal anything back in January, because as it seems this could mean any scene (still I never expected Liam and Jaal in the scene like that so it was almost ''safe'' to assume it must have been Scott with Jaal ) and just give people false hope (including myself).

Ofc, this does not make Jaal straight.. I dunno anymore :/

They're not agendered, they are an exclusively female species Liara mentions this in ME1 iirc, there's a few examples on Earth but I can't recall them off the top of my head, some kind of lizard...

I agree with this, BUT - there has been an awful lot of teasing and nudge nudge wink wink stuff from all these people who are under NDA, when it comes to straight romances and even some lesbian stuff. It is ALWAYS the gay guys who get the super-serious "sorry, I can't talk about that, no teasing, not hints, no nothing dude" response. Always.

But ME1 Kaidan and Ashley to mention a few tho.

Yep, exactly. That's why I'm so confused. But there's also the fact that being trans is biological. As in, they don't just feel like they're male/female, but they have the same brain patterns (as the members of the sex they identify as), etc. afaik. Asari are biologically monogendered as well, so I don't know how that would work.
