ive got it. The way I see Gideon re:gender is like when ur a kid and u keep pointing at bugs doin cool things and goin “LOOKIT HIM GO” but as soon as you say it u remember that u found out most of the bugs ur pointing out are probably closer to female and ur like “oh yea” and thats cool and u appreciate them but ur still gunna call them a little guy cause theyre just a lil guy.

Or like. ladybugs. probably a dude. But also. Ladybug. who knows. still just a lil guy.
