PERSONAL NOTES

ON THE SHORT DISSERTATION OF NON-BINARY SEXUAL IDENTITIES AND

BINARY SENTINEL/GUIDE IDENTITIES

By Sir HANS TOWNSENDE

• Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics – a society whereby humans are have 2 types of gender identification: Male vs. Female and Alpha vs. Beta vs. Omega.

a. Male vs. Female:  the primary gender identity. Males possess overt, functional testes and glans penis; females possess covert, functional ovaries, uterus, vagina and clitoris. The minor factor in determining societal positions.

b. Alpha vs. Beta vs. Omega: the secondary gender identity. The major factor in determining societal positions.

i.Alpha: dominant, possess strength, agility and longevity. Athletic. Prone to irrational behaviours due to their dominant and quick-tempered personalities. The second-rarest class of secondary gender, makes up 20% of total population. Suited to careers in politics or sports. Enters rut, cycle dependent on each individual. Extremely affected by Omega’s heat. Possess knots.

1.  Alpha females possess BOTH functional female sexual organs and a functional knot. Can both be pregnant and impregnate others.
2. Alpha males ONLY possess functional male sexual organs. They can knot, but cannot be impregnated, since they have no uterus.

ii.Beta: calm, with average capability. Ability to stay rational. The most abundant class of secondary gender, at 75%. Suited to careers in law and ombudsmen. Does not enter heat or rut, but are slightly affected by Omega’s heat. Do not possess knots

1. Beta-class males and females possess NO extra reproductive organs. So, a Beta male can impregnate but cannot become pregnant. A Beta female can only be impregnated.

iii.Omega: the rarest class of secondary gender, at 5%. Enters heat, which renders them fertile, cycle varies by each Omega. Can only conceive during heats, where they release mating hormones to attract alphas and betas. Able to calm alphas down when they are feral. Nurturing and caring. Suited to professions in public service and education. Possess reproductive organs, but NO knots.

1.  An Omega female possesses functional female reproductive organs, no knots. Very fertile when mating with Alphas, low fertility rates when mated with a Beta.
2.  An Omega male possesses BOTH a functional reproductive set of male sex organs, AND a covert, functional reproductive track, which allows them to both impregnate and become pregnant. But, they’re extremely fertile only with Alphas, and their ability to impregnate someone is VERY low, due to their sperm degradation as a result of evolution.

c. Summary of possible gender identities:

i.Male:

1. Alpha Males
2. Beta Males
3. Omega Males

ii.Female:

1. Alpha Females

2. Beta Females

3. Omega Females

d. Bonding: Within society, Beta/Beta bonding is the norm and the most popular. Alpha/Omega bonding is regarded as the most desirable type, as Omegas and Alphas complement each other well physically and emotionally, and a high chance of birthing more Alphas and Omegas, which is encouraged to increase A/O population. Alpha/Beta bonding happens when an Alpha cannot find an Omega mate, due to the 4:1 A:O ratio. Beta/Omega and Omega/Omega bonding is highly frowned upon, due to the inability/nearly 0% chance of reproduction in an environment where Omegas are extremely scarce. Bonding is completed via a mating bite (for all genders) AND a mating heat (for A/O)

e. Presentation: the stage where a child could be identified by the secondary gender. Happens roughly at the same time as puberty. Before that, no one can tell the gender.

• Sentinel/Guides: Sex-linked genetic mutations that occurs exclusively in Alphas and Omegas. Give access to outstanding mental/physical abilities. Extremely rare, even in Alphas/Omegas.
  1. Sentinel: Sex-linked genetic mutation. Occurs only in Alphas, known to be an inheritable trait, but the mechanism of inheritance is unclear. Sentinels are extremely athletic, with enhanced five senses and strength, so even among Alphas, they are the top of the top. Excellent in focusing. Extraordinary mental concentration, but prone to “zoning”, whereby too intense a focus on one (or more) sense will put Sentinels into a “zone”, almost hypnotic, and they rarely are able to come back from zoning without the help of a Guide. The stronger the senses, the easier it is to zone -> a strong Sentinel needs a strong Guide.

  2. Guide: Sex-linked genetic mutation. Occurs only in Omegas, known to be an inheritable trait, but the mechanism of inheritance is unclear. Guides possess extraordinary mental capabilities, able to read and manipulate other people’s emotions (only the strongest can manipulate), break through other’s mental shields/defense to cause damage or to heal. This allows them to enter a Sentinel’s mindscape, and to either force them into a zone, or pull them out of one. An extremely taxing ability, a Guide can faint or fall into a coma if ability is overused.

     ---

  3. Presentation: happens at the same time that a person enters puberty and presents as A/B/O. A Guide will release bonding hormones from the gland on their necks. This gland, in a Guide, double-functions as BOTH the bonding gland, and the mating gland (releases both bonding AND mating hormones).

i.Omegas:

1. Non-Guide =  gland on neck = mating gland = mating hormones
2. Guide = gland on neck = mating + bonding gland = mating + bonding hormones

ii.Alphas:

1. Non-Sentinels = knot + mating hormones
2. Sentinels = knot + mating AND bonding hormones

iii.Note that a Guide/Sentinel could also bond freely with non-Guides/Sentinels, wherein they will never use their bonding hormones and/or glands. The bonding gland in Omega will ONLY be activated when an Alpha Sentinel bites on the gland (on the neck) For an ALPHA SENTINEL / OMEGA GUIDE to completely bond = mating + bonding heat.

 4. Bonding: due to extreme rarity, Sentinels and Guides both have their own Associations. Their ratio is 1:1. Each year, the Associations meet and organize meetings so that Sentinels and Guides have a chance to meet each other and find a potential bondmate. Bonding between S/G is VERY encouraged, as a S/G couple complement each other well and have an increased longevity. May live up to 200 years as a S/G couple.

• Summary – a quick summary to all the content above, so that it’s easier to understand. In this society:
  1. 50:50 male:female
  2. 20:75:5 A:B:O
  3. Average life span = 100 years

     ---

  4.  In A/B/O:

i.Female = A (knot + fem sex. org., mating hormones)/B (fem sex. org. only)/O (fem. sex. org. only; gland on neck; extra fertile with Alphas; mating hormones)

ii.Male = A (knot + male sex. org., mating hormones)/B (male sex. org. only)/O (male sex. org. + reproductive track – extra fertile with Alphas; gland on neck; mating hormones)

iii.Beta females = normal female ovulation. Fertile all year round; Omega females/males = fertile ONLY during mating heat. Other times, can have sex, but non-fertile. Suppressants for heats are widely sold -> no heat = no children. Also contraception -> heat BUT no children.

 5. In S/G:

i.Some A = Sentinel (Alpha characteristics + bonding hormones)

ii.Some O = Guide (Omega characteristics + bonding hormones + gland act as both mating and bonding gland; bite to release boding hormones)

 6. Puberty = A/B/O + S/G presentation

 7. Mating heat = for A/B/O bonding -> Alphas = rut; Omegas = heat; Beta = none, but follows cue by A/O. Knotting = forever -> no knot = casual sex. Can only knot during rut/heat. Sexual/Spousal relationship

 8. Bonding heat = for Alpha Sentinel/Omega Guide bonding ONLY. Triggered ONLY by Sentinel biting on Guide’s gland, releasing bonding hormones and triggering a bonding heat. Can be non-sexual

i.A S/G pair can be non-sexual. Do not have to spend the bonding heat having sex, can be together to cement the bond and masturbate separately. As long as they’re together during the mating heat. This is rare, as most S/G tend to end up being mated together.

ii.A S/G pair can be sexual, and often are. Usually, upon meeting, they recognize each other as both lifemates and bondmates. Sentinel bites Guide on the gland, and spend the bonding heat together (have sex) -> bondmates. As soon as either of them hits rut/heat, have sex again + knotting -> lifemates.

    9. Overall, Betas are the least fussy type, they can’t knot, so their bonding is like a normal relationship. No S/G abilities, either. So, Beta = affected by heat/rut, but DO NOT have heat/rut. Mind can be manipulated by Guides, but DO NOT have S/G.

If in A/O (and/or S/G) relationship, one partner dies, the other can form a new bond with a new partner. But not dead = bond forever.
