@KatherinWinter Probably in the sense that is doesn't have any genitalia. So it's an it. Maybe it was created from magic. *shrugs* :P

Actually no! Like me, their gender is completely separate from their genitalia. Nonbinary people fall under the umbrella term of transgender. Lots of people are nonbinary, but because of of a lack of media representation plenty of people don't know about us. (also I know your not trying to be offensive, but most nonbinary people find being referred to as "it" dehumanizing, so please use they/them when referring to Flick)

@Bec Well, it's a cat. :P So I don't exactly understand the logistics of that in more ways than one. I assume it was like a magical creature/android. So hopefully I don't offend any other kin that happen to be on the forum. :P (I'll keep that in mind haha.)

I didnt mean any disrespect. I honestly hadn't thought about a cat being transgender. I have never heard the term nonbinary before. Your first explanation hadn't made it clear what he was. Your second makes it much more clear. I have RPed with characters like Flick before. I will try to remember.

Flicks not just a cat, their a anthropomorphic enough to be considered a person, some people have nonbinary genders. Referring to a person as an "it" is without their permission is dehumanizing because it implies that person is a thing. Flick is a fictional cat, but you wouldn't refer to Puss in Boots as anything but a "he", please stop calling them "it". If something about this is confusing to you feel free to ask me questions.

That's okay, I tend to forget not every knows about nb genders but I probably should give a explanation next time a introduce a nb character to avoid confusion. (also Flick's prounons are they/them not he/him)

@Bec Well I haven't called them anything yet in the actual RP. :P Plus, I don't know if one can be dehumanizing to a cat person. :P (I'm simply teasing.) I understand the concept. Most likely will just use their name. Mainly for the reason I didn't use they or them is because the english language would usually imply that word means plural (two) instead of a single individual.

Really? that's weird, in the storybook version I had as a kid and in Shrek Puss in boots is a guy. But I support girl Puss in boots! There aren't enough lady heroes, especially not in classics.

Also, I think it's interesting to see characters discriminating against Mundanes. It'll make for some interesting conflict between the Specials (what I'm calling the powered folk) and the minority of Mundanes who attend the school (I believe Shay is the only one so far).

You forgot to pair the eels. I know they're sort of counted as NPCs, but they're still students. Just though I'd let you know.
