About gender:

The ǂiʉðçiʂ culture lives on the border of an inland lake surrounded by desert, and their society is divided into people and things associated with the sea and people and things associated with the sand. Their concept of gender is not tied to biology but which part of society a person belongs to. By culture and tradition, most people of the sea (çeiʂ) are biologically female, and most people of the sand (ǂiʉð) are biologically male, but this is far from universal, as a person who is biologically male but part of the sea portion of society is spoken of with the sea gender.
