I’m a Connecticutian by birth. Though I’ve also heard someone call themselves Connecticuter once or twice, but never cared for that one.
Either one seems to break a lot of normal grammar/spelling rules.
As an outsider I’ll say that “Kiwi” is an awesome name for you folks.
(hope I don’t assume too much based on the instance name)
I usually look for the sneaky route through, then go backwards through the combat route and gank all the enemies

The two genders
I’ve never read the book, but the TV show was excellent
Anything you want, they can’t hear you
Strange, I take the exact opposite reading of that quote: They do each have a gender identity regardless of form (or lack thereof), and can take physical form of their choosing. Yes they can change form (incl outward-presenting sex) – that is, they have the metaphysical power to do so – but AFAIK* there are no instances of an ainur choosing a physical form with a sex that is incongruent with their gender identity. I.E., they are always cisgender in the legendarium.
* I feel like there was one instance of someone taking a disguise of another differently-genedered character but I can’t recall who it was or if I’m imagining this.
As for societal gender, it absolutely exists in Tolkien’s world amongst most of the races/societies that we have exposure to.
The Ainur are immortal, angelic beings, nonetheless they do possess gender. Those who later descended to Arda took on common male and female forms to appear to the Elves in, and have an inherent male or female gender even when formless. This is because their gender is based on their being, which is independent of any physical form they may assume.

The Ainur comprise of the Valar (godlike/archangel entities such as Morgoth, Manwe, Ulmo) and the Maiar (less powerful, notables include: Gandalf, Sauron, Saruman, Melian, all Balrogs). So this information should apply to both groups.
Joke’s on him, I never paid him a penny
I do get sticky fingers from my gummies sometimes, but maybe cleanliness is not the sole quality I should focus on

Love False Knees. I finished reading it from start to finish (latest) a couple months ago.
Holy hell
As long as it’s not an illegal sex

Heh, yea, I haven’t touched that game in 13 years so my memory is nothing but a historical anecdote :)
