This poll is sort of @OneRanter's request, and the inverse of prior one but modified in certain ways.
1. Which gender would you choose to be? Why?
2. In an alien gender system, do you think you would have a strong sense of gender identity?
3. Would your sexuality or attraction to someone have any role in the way you choose your gender?
4. Would you have any regrets choosing one way or another?
You died and reincarnated as a non-humanoid alien. These aliens have five sexes (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon) and genders, none of which correspond exactly to the human concept of male/female. Your alien species reproduces by pollination, so there is no form of penetrative sex involved during reproduction, although they do have their own steamy form of intimacy/romance.
At first, you felt like growing up as a non-humanoid alien was strange. However, you gradually got used to it over the years, and slowly began to find parts of alien life enjoyable. You ended up making alien friends and even slowly grew romantically/sexually attracted to some other aliens.
One major feature of your alien species is that everyone is born gender-neutral. In adolescence, everyone chooses to differentiate into their preferred gender, for whichever reasons they prefer.
Incidentally, your alien crush is named Ieabriale, who you think is very attractive (both romantically and sexually). Ieabriale is a little older than you and thus differentiated first into the Delta gender. In general, you find Deltas to be sexually attractive (as well as Betas and Epsilons).
You are reaching puberty, and you have a little bit of a conundrum.
Without considering your sexuality, you feel like you are an Epsilon, and would want to become an Epsilon.
The problem is that Delta's are not reproductively compatible with Epsilons, and you know that Iebriale does not find Epsilons to be attractive. Consequently, if you became an Epsilon, you would have to give up on being together with Ieabriale.
The following is your ranking of gender preferences (in terms of who you would want to be or feel the closest affinity with):
- Epsilon - highest preference
- Beta
- Alpha
- Delta
- Gamma
The following is a ranking of your sexual preferences (in terms of which genders you like):
- Delta - highest preference
- Beta
- Epsilon
- Alpha
- Gamma
The is a list of reproductive compatibilities (in terms of which genders can reproduce with other genders):
- Alpha => Beta, Epsilon
- Beta => Delta, Alpha
- Delta => Gamma, Beta
- Gamma => Epsilon, Delta
- Epsilon => Alpha, Gamma
The follow is your understanding of which genders Ieabriale likes:
- Alpha - highest preference
- Beta
- Delta
- Gamma
- Epsilon
