Genderfluid is not a thing. You are either male or female. You cannot 'feel' male, or 'feel' female, especially not both. There is only two genders/sexes, no such thing as 'cis'/'cisgender' (it's called being normal, not a delusional, mental-illness-denying, double standard-against-similar-conditions-denying retard) no matter what certain genetics-denying, biology-denying SJWs say.
While the 'former raider' thing is a bit common (why is the 'former' part in quotes, by the way? He still does raider-y things but is no longer/not as crazy as most raiders?). Still, the relationship sounds cute, especially the ghoul, and I can imagine Slit Throat has a lot of fun makes jokes about his/her glowing-ness and tininess. And as with Derpy, I imagine his/her pre-war knowledge comes in handy.

Oh! But thank you for the comment. I appreciate that you care enough to comment. I really like them as a couple cause I know that Slit is weird enough to not care about dating a glowing ghoul trapped in the body of a foal. You are right about Slit making jokes about their habit of glowing when embarrassed and how small they are compared to the rest of the group. I love them together.

Yeah, and it would take some amount of strength for a pony (or person) to romance a ghoul. Then again, after a while, I suppose the partner would get used to the smell or their appearance (and the particular...squishiness of their skin/body). I don't think the friends of the person would think the same, however, even if they don't mind ghouls.
I imagine he would call him/her his 'nightlight', as well, the glowing would be a good guide in the dark/

Star would be quite pissed at being called that, which would make Slit say it all the more. He's a very strange stallion, even for a raider.

Ha ha! As much as that kind of relationship can be cliché, I like the idea of this happy or playfully teasing person paired with the grump who is irritated and enamoured by their actions.

(Huh, I wondered if anyone would mention the whole gender fluid thing. Took longer than I thought. I don't mind though)
Anyway, as I stated in the description, the use of gender fluid was just because I couldn't think of a better term. Star doesn't feel male of female, cause in my mind, personality doesn't determine gender. Even if Star acted feminine, that wouldn't tie into their gender since both genders are capable of acting in a way that one would associate with only one gender. Ex: Liking flowers doesn't make you a girl just cause girls generally like flowers. As for Star, they have been isolated from ponies for centuries with no reason to evaluate their gender. They have a sex but Star can't remember which one and they just go by any pronoun. So if someone calls Star him, they'll answer just as willingly as they would if they were called her. They don't care.
I don't deny biology or genetics. Star just doesn't remember/doesn't care what their called.
As for Slit Throat, I call him a former raider cause he is technically not a raider anymore. He takes drugs and kills ponies but is considered good because he is apart of a group that happens to point him toward groups that most wastelanders hate anyway. I plan on explaining Slit Throat later when I post his profile

Well, thank you for responding calmly. I was worried you would (textually) yell at me.
Regarding the behaviour things, that is of course true, but we must also remember that, regardless of what some people claim, there are general physical (outside of the genitals), emotional and mental differences between the two genders
Gender and sex are the same, though. No matter (again) how much certain biology-denying, chromosome-denying, basic-human-structure-denying tyrants (since they demand everyone submit to them and their false pronouns). You have two X chromosones? You are female. You have an X and a Y chromosome? You are male. You have X chromosones, but have male genitals or vice versa? You are female/male chromosomally, but are intersex physically, but the chromosomes still state what you were intended to be (I hate the fact that people we are 'assigned' a gender, as it's as easy and superficial as assigning a chair). You have XXY, XYY, etc, you are intersex as well, to a greater extend than the former (since there is no sure indication of your gender).
The character just needs to look between his/her legs XD. Or get a DNA if something unpleasant happened down there. Or maybe he/she just does not care XD.
Regarding the pronouns thing, I think more 'trans' (or rather, to put it bluntly/correctly - people who present/pretend to be the opposite sex) people need not be so venomous and hysterical when it comes to pronouns, calling people 'disgusting' saying it is committing 'violence' use the pronouns that their genitals/chromosomes state they are. Hell, I even know 'trans' people who don't give a shit what people call them and dislike and are embarrassed by the ones who get so damn upset for people expressing their right to freedom of speech.
The same goes for bathrooms and changing rooms - a person or company is not a bad person or 'transphobic' for not wanting men who present/pretend to women and vice versa in their bathroom or changing room - it's called not being submissive, PC little wimps, it's called not wanting their private space, meant for real women and men. Delusionsally thinking one is female/male or having one's natural body mutilated does not make a person male or female.
I could go into a deeper, longer explanation, but I don't want to waste your time.
To be fair, most FoE OCs and side story protagonists are like that, so it doesn't automatically make one a raider .

It's cool. I don't mind. I agree but I also don't care too much about the pronoun game. My treatment of people doesn't change too much from male to female. With Star, I'm sure how much of their genitalia is left after decades of rot, since their a ghoul. Sure, someone could check but no one cares enough to do so.
True, though about Slit. He is a raider in nature rather than practice. I don't know how to explain it though.
