I'm going to post this link in "Press". But it is a bit of non-fiction writing. I did catch a typo which I'm too late to correct. (Not my blog). I'd welcome comment here on writing style, what works and what doesn't.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Oh, I know, -t! I used to hate it that "madchen" was a neuter noun! Girls aren't neuter, damn it! Then I found out that any word ending in "chen" takes the neuter form. Still, quit trying to unsex me, you nasty gender-assigning language.

Heh. That one is easy to remember because of the outrage.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Gar, just be thankful it isn't French. Because, am I remembering "le vagine" correctly? Vagina in French is in the masculine?

Because books.
Vagina in French is in the masculine?
Oh, now, if that's true, it's just wrong.

Boggles.
Boggles some more.
Does that mean all the vaginas belong to men? As in, the male owns the female, therefore, her vagina belonga him? So glad my ancestors got smart and left the country.

"vagin" = noun masculine.
Language is very very strange, sometimes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Theories on the gender of vagin.
It's interesting--it looks kinda like the gender of the word was resolved by shape (-in) rather than meaning. Which is something I think French does--chemin is masculine, whereas most of the other words for roads (rue, route, allée, chaussée, etc) are feminine.
And vagine was already taken.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
