It's definitely true that "she" and "he" are just pronouns! Inasmuch as they can be very important to how we relate to others, they are just terms. In my stories, Twapa is a "she" even though Twapa is what I would describe as genderqueer (or maybe a gender anarchist, haha). It's kinda tricky with the Ambaian culture I made up for TU, because they don't HAVE gender categories, even though I might have an idea of what kind of physical characteristics certain characters might have, they don't really differentiate. It's still hard for me not to think of them as "female" or "male" or "neutrois" or what have you for the characters I have authorial headcanon about, such as Phasia. It gets weirder because even though the view of bodies is simply that "each person is slightly different from each other person and that is just fine" some characters will still experience body dysphoria and may alter their bodies to better suit their needs. This is seen as normal and healthy, however
