Hot take: elves arent just androgynous, they’re actually just Only One Sex That Is Both, like with flowers. There is no physical differences. The only difference is gender. That’s it. That’s all there is.

The reason elves get gendered names at birth is because of the canonical fea (soul) level of connection/reading. Just as elves can tell each others marital status and whatnot just by a soul scan, they can tell gender. As a result elves are never accidentally misgendered by other elves, and their gender is known since birth.

this has more or less been my personal, extremely indulgent private AU/headcanon since forever, amazing
