She had to bite her lower lip in consternation. It was very difficult to find a way to explain this without being...crude. Without having to use language that had no place between a parent and grown child of completely different genders.
"There is only one gender among their race," she tried again, more factually. "There are no differences among them, no separate types, as we have men and women. Each can be either a father or a mother. Oftentimes both."
She made a few purposeless, fluttering gestures with her hands.
"But, outwardly, they present themselves as men. They address each other as men. And so, what I have arranged for you...isn't a bride, Loki. It is a bridegroom. A husband."
