[[genetics|Biologically]], gender and dynamics are the same thing. For [[historical|history]] and [[cultural|culture]] reasons, they're seen as separate.

Biological gender includes the set of features that develop at birth and through puberty. Biological dynamic includes those features that develop around [[presentation]]. Both are connected to sexual and emotional development.

The three recognized dynamics are - [[alpha]], [[beta]], and [[~~omega~~]]. [[trans|~~Transdynamic~~]] people exist, but ~~are not well~~ accepted in most English-speaking cultures.

Biological gender includes the set of features that develop at birth and through puberty. Biological dynamic includes those features that develop around [[presentation]]. Both are connected to sexual, physical, and emotional development.

The three recognized genders are - '''male''', '''female''', and '''epicene'''. The three recognized dynamics are - '''alpha''', '''beta''', and '''omega''. Both [[trans|transgender]] and [[trans|transdynamic]] people exist, but being transgender is much more accepted in most English-speaking cultures than being transdynamic.

== Males ==

Biological males usually go through a similar puberty to that of biological males on Earth. See [[anatomy]] for more details.

== Females ==

Biological females usually go through a similar puberty to that of biological females on Earth. See [[anatomy]] for more details.

== Epicenes ==

About a third of kids are biologically epicene, meaning they have genitalia that is between male and female - either having dual genitals (both vagina and penis), or ambiguous genitals (a urethral groove that may not develop labia, with the whole genital area being mostly smooth). Even more have a shallow vagina and something between a clitoris and a penis. Most kids are raised as a common gender, even if they do have clearly male or female genitalia. See [[anatomy]] for more details.

However, only around 6% of the population will stay biologically epicene through adulthood. 'Strong' Epicenes may go through a puberty that mixes elements of Earth's male and female experience, even if they end up biologically male or female. 'Weak' Epicenes may go through minimal puberty, and retain an androgynous, childlike appearance. Historically, Epicene alphas were considered male, and epicene omegas were considered female. There are no biological epicene betas.

== Alphas ==

Alphas are usually able to sire children, and have [[rut]]s. Stereotypes include them being natural leaders, having heightened aggression, and having stronger [[scents|pheremones]] than other dynamics.
