Presumably that is to some extent the point. Otherwise there's no real difference between male and female Vingans anyway.

Hmm... that wasn't quite how I'd seen Vinga's role. But yes, Vinga is the gateway. It just seems to me that she'd be the gateway to some other being who could father children, rather than having that role herself.

So what's the myth like where Vinga turns into a man? Or is she discovered to have been one all along? (Sounds like a bit of a cop-out to me).
Is this some as-yet-undocumented sub-cult? I'd guess that it starts getting closer to Orlanth All-Father than Adventurous...?

And then start a fight over what gender their god(-dess) is, I'd imagine. Vinga isn't from the Water tribe, after all.
