It must have been those earlier write-ups I was thinking of, then. Nandan as the cult for men who take up occupations (and religious roles) normally reserved for women, but who remain (physically/biologically) men works for me, and makes it the equivalent of Vinga, as has been said.
I'm not aware of any correlation between people wanting to take up cross-gender occupations, and homosexuality - anyone else? I know there's rumour/slander etc on the subject, but are there any facts?
Surely a Nandan man is the perfect sexual partner for a Vingan Woman, once she has had the baby he is in a role which allows him to raise it and let her get on with Troll Slaying :-D
