I think there are far fewer followers of Nandan than there are of Vinga. Vingans are still women, in all respects, who take on predominantly male tasks. Nandans on the other hand are regarded as women in men's bodies. I think that there are more women with a call to battle and adventure than there are transsexual men.

This difference is interesting, as there is thus no place for men who want to take on predominantly female tasks but still are men, who marry women etc. Are there no male healers, herbalists, visionaries etc. in heortling society?
