Masculine Herms
11 years ago
General
I had someone just flat out tell me, that my quetzalcoatl... that I don't know what a masculine herm is. I'm pretty sure having all the bits there and being masculine is a pretty good definition. They complain because of the breasts.

Really? Did someone just tell me that my characters' gender identity is wrong because I have breasts and their personal standard says that I shouldn't have them?

Funny enough, one artist that did an art peice for me got bashed on and attacked because the person viewing it didnt like that he saw dick and tits on the same body.
Its a thing
Well. As it stand I (of course) love your character :P so whatever they think doesn't matter.
The nipples are a leftover component of the dominant X chromosome while the baby was developing in the womb.
That said, everyone has nipples and breast tissue of varying sizes and shapes, so to attach it to one sex specifically is wrong. However, that does not mean that it won't be attached to a gender stereotype.
My recommendation would be to make the chest and breast area hairy. :D That might be an effective way to counter the criticism of your herm character not being "masculine" enough, and I think it would look sexy! However, in the end, you can do whatever you want with your character and identify it however you desire. :)
Though I usually think the term is referring to "male-herm" rather than "masculine"
Then again I seen people posting pictures of PC who is a herm on third party sites argue that shi is transex or shemale cause the female bits aren't showing in whatever pose that is posted.
