Theory/Personal Headcanon
So, without going too deep into the many issues with how The Legend of Zelda portrays the Gerudo, there's one part of it those issues that actually has to potential to be less problematic and make a lot more sense, if you view it in a non-binary perspective. Specifically, in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Disclaimer that this totally isn't the intent behind how the Gerudo are written or anything like that. However, the canon portrayal has so many issues that I really don't care for it, and this theory makes so much more sense anyway. It doesn't decrease the issues with canon, but it makes for a better interpretation.
So the whole "all-warrior-women who get one man per century and that man is destined to be their king" thing really doesn't make sense. It's one of those things that, despite being so obviously fictional creative liberty, I could never really suspend my disbelief about.
Groups of all-warrior-women definitely aren't unheard of, most of which nowadays take inspiration of the Amazons from Hellenic mythology. That's not the part that I have trouble with at all, in fact the trope itself can be pretty cool if handled well.
It's the "king-male-per-century" part that just reeks of sexism. Only partially because in an entire culture of badass warrior women, a single male shows up and is automatically destined to be the most powerful among them. What the heck?! And that's not even touching on the extreme sexualization of Gerudo women, or the many other issues that arise from the way they're portrayed.
Now, story-wise this does make a liiiittle sense, bc "the one with a unique trait unlike any other is a Chosen One" is a really common trope, and them getting destined the title of leader/ruler is something that happens fairly often. And, it gives credence to another theory of mine, that the reason the reincarnation of Demise's hate has been a Gerudo man at least three time, is specifically because that position automatically grants him so much potential for power.
But if that's the case, why would the Gerudo keep the "Gerudo man=king" rule? And of all ways to use that trope, did it really have to be in the form of "man > any other woman"?!
And, finally getting to the point, it's so strictly binary. And as anyone with an ounce of critical thinking knows, sex and gender is never binary.
It doesn't account for intersex or transgender Gerudo, and has shown no way of accounting for any natural divergence outside of that system.
BOTW and TOTK isn't any better at this. In fact, it reiterates almost all bigoted tropes the series has played into over the years.
It did however, introduce the Gerudo having their own language, including the terms "vai" and "voe" which allegedly mean "woman" and "man". Basically every time it's brought up by a Gerudo person, they say "vai" and "voe" instead of "man" and "woman". While it's implied that this is because the terms are interchangeable, in practice this doesn't seem to be the case.
My theory is that "vai" doesn't directly translate to "woman", and "voe" doesn't directly translate to "man". Instead, those are just how it's translated into Hylian, and is falsely portrayed as a sex binary when it really isn't.
I think the biggest example to support this is the presence of gorons in Gerudo Town. In the Era of the Wild, as well as in the series as a whole, we apparently never see any female gorons. All gorons referred to in third-person pronouns are referred to using "he/him", and all call each other "brother". Language that is most commonly used to refer to those who are male. But if that were the case, then why (diegetically) wouldn't they have a corresponding explanation for why we apparently never encounter a female goron? And, most importantly, why would they be allowed in Gerudo Town, a place that so strictly forbids the presence of voe?
It makes infinitely more sense that A) gorons don't have societal differences between sexes, if they even have significant sexual/gender divergence at all, and B) "voe" isn't actually the same as what's labeled as "male", and the gorons fall into the category of vai instead.
It's entirely possible that gender doesn't play a role in whether someone's a vai or voe. It would answer the question of how intersex and transgender Gerudo would fit. It's a binary is, at least partially, separate from sex/gender.
So why is it translated as "man" and "woman"? Well, because that's it's being translated into Hylian. Hylians/humans are usually the dominant species/culture in the world of TLOZ. If the characteristics of Gerudo vai are most commonly shared with Hylian women, and those of Gerudo voe most commonly shared with Hylian men, then it's reasonable to assume that it was either used as an indirect translation, or that it was assumed to mean the same thing.
Not necessarily part of the theory bc this is a fantasy world, but it does still lend it credence: In the real world, most cultures do actually account the existence non-binary identities. The societal construct of a strict gender binary, as well as binary gender roles, are the direct result of white colonization. And in Zelda lore, there have been instances of Hyrule falling into the role of colonizers, and it's not a stretch to say the government of Hyrule hasn't always been on the right side of history. And, the Hyrule royal family has always been portrayed as white (they even made Tetra become pale-skinned when revealed as the princess WTF), and the Gerudo has always been portrayed as brown.
#TLDR: in-world indirect translation; “vai” doesn't mean “woman” and “voe” doesn't mean “man”#I'm taking a big risk posting this on the reading comprehension site#I tried to write this as best I can but this was more difficult to write than I expected it to be (tho that might also be my anxiety)#tw sexism#tw mysoginy#tw transmysoginy#tw intersexism#tw racism#tw bigotry#tw bigoted tropes#long post#the legend of zelda#the legend of zelda theory#breath of the wild#tears of the kingdom#tloz#botw#totk#tloz botw#tloz totk#tloz gerudo#the legend of zelda gerudo#tloz theory#botw theory#totk theory

new phone purchase is sending me into a stress spiral because. confession time. I've never bought a new phone in my life, ever. so now I'm looking at this brave new world and the prices are... WHAT? I can't wrap my head around it. I have some money saved. I could afford something cool. But why the fuck should I want to spend that much money on a phone I only use to chat and to take photos. But also I want this purchase to last a few years, so I feel like being cheap now might bite me in the ass later?
But seriously. WHAT the fuck are those prices. do people actually pay that much money. what
#I feel very very extravagant looking at a phone that costs 400€ meanwhile all the phone sites are like. yeah that's mid range at best#one thing about me is that I've only owned 2 smartphones. one was a hand me down. current one is a gift from my parents going on 7 years#I know NOTHING about the wild world of Android#elle.txt

The Hunger Games trending, but no sign of Palestine, free Palestine, Gaza, or Israel on the trending page. Truly sick and twisted of this hell site.
#free palestine#free gaza#hunger games#tumblr suppressing tags on trending around a genocide is just wild#but then at the same to have a book and movie series about oppression and genocide trending#like something dark and twisted is happening here#and like the focus of both is how media distorts our perception of horrific government action (aka war crimes)#and we here on our fun media site ignoring the horrors of the world for our own fun#idk if this makes sense#I’m just having thoughts and feelings#don’t mind me just shouting into the void

people saying 'just use an ad-blocker on ff dot net omg 🙄' are missing the point entirely but ok.....
if you allow ads and corporate bullshit on your fandom sites you are welcoming outside corporations to profit off your fan works and eventually dictate what will and will not be allowed on the site. yes ao3 has a yearly donation campaign and will take donations year-round. they also will not take down entire swathes of explicit fic just cause advertisers/corporations want them to. which I think would be more important to ppl since the explicit fic seems to be what everyone clamors for in the first place 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
servers aren't free. websites don't run on magic and fairy dust. lawyers are not on standby just out of the good of their hearts. grow the fuck up.
#ao3 is visited thousands of times a day by people all over the world#do you think the server space and web domain for that kind of site just... happens? for free? instantly?#ao3 does not say 'if you want to use this website it's $9.99 a month#which is WILD given today's climate of subscriptions for EVERYTHING#they say 'hey. if you can. throw us the price of your fuckin starbucks for a single day this one time! if not thanks and happy reading!'#I'm making this non-rebloggable cause I just don't want the bullshit#I'm in a fucking MOOD today cause I don't feel well and it's making me mad and my patience is GONE#erin explains it all#clown and get nuked from orbit
