Lord English gendered the trolls based on stingers because he had a book lying around called “How to Sex Bees”

#he thought ‘Sexing Bees’ was something else

i’d completely fuckin forgotten about it by the time I made this post but there is actually a joke in Homestuck where Caliborn thinks to ‘sex’ something is to have sex with it hghjghg

And what makes you so sure they are all men?
Have you sexed them?
FUCK YOU. AND YOUR RIBALD INSINUATIONS.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FROG MEN IS STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL.

…actually this conversation has some genuine relevance to sex in trolls, because the very next thing Caliborn says is this;

THEY’RE ALL MEN. BECAUSE I SAY THEY ARE. AND I WANT THEM TO BE.
IF I BELIEVE HARD ENOUGH IN THEM BEING MEN.
THEN THAT FACT BECOMES ABSOLUTELY INDISPUTABLE AS A PERMANENT MAN REALITY.

which is pretty indicative of Caliborn’s attitude towards gendering his subjects.
