GIP

[redbird]

This is a cardinal that is half-male, half-female (vertically divided). Via beetiger. The technical term seems to be gynandromorph. I'm assuming it's sterile, but haven't done any reading, just followed the link to the image

Redbird is a common name for the species, male and female; you aren't only half a Zi ri.

I am enlightened?

(But ... would I be a Zi? Or a Ri?)

I was thinking that the name doesn't pertain to only one gender, so a being that isn't only male or only female is still entitled to it. Sorry if my logic is obscure. (You may now think it's wrong, but at least I hope you know what I'm trying to say.)

I'm sorry! I meant to say, "I am enlightened!" but my translator somehow got the interrogative particle from the next sentence stuck on the first one too.)

Not a problem. Translation is not easy even if the person doing it is fluent in both languages.
