on Gerudo, gender, headcanons, and some awkward phrasing

I've ranted about this before but the Gerudo as portrayed in BotW/TotK drive me a teensy bit crazy, esp. in TotK. Trying to shoehorn an all-female society into a cis-hetero-normative framework, predictably, Does Not Fucking Work for a lot of reasons, so I've been investing brainsweat into pulling them apart and putting them back together in a way that doesn't make my brain hurt. Some or all of this may show up in future fic.

So here's my general idea, and I'm open to feedback. My goal here is not to make a Perfect Unproblematic Society, but to try to give them their own unique outlook and cultural sludge/pitfalls that arise naturally from their society and history.
