Do you have any thoughts/headcanons about dwarf kids/teens exploring their gender and sexuality options? Because one of the things I love the most about Sansukh is the absolute diversity of sex and gender issues!

Ooooh, Nonnie, I headcanon that the Dwarf culture is more accepting of experimentation and exploration, certainly. I think they do not have gendered occupations, roles or appearances, and so many of the obstacles facing us in our world do not really apply. 

This is pretty idealised, I know! In contrast, I’ve headcanonned that Hobbit society, with all its properness and respectability and insularity and gossip, is much more strictured and repressive. 

So within these headcanons, I think it’s very normal for Dwarf children and teens to explore who they are! Like people here, some might be totally certain at a very young age. Some might need a bit of time and a bit of trying-it-out-for-size before they find the right fit. Either way, it’d be totally accepted by the society as a whole. Because hey, they’re all Dwarves. 

(I’m glad you like it, Nonnie! Thank you so so much!!)
