Hej!  A conversation just now about the fact that I especially like mestari as a title because it is the same word no matter the gender made me stop and think about the part where both my normal title, varakreivitär and my SCA surname were both chosen years before I understood that one didn't have to accept the gender that was written on one's birth certificate. Since my own gender identity is somewhere between "all genders are equally appropriate a way to describe me" and "I don't really have a gender", with a healthy dose of "I was raised female, and am used to people reacting to me as though I am", I am wondering if there is a gender neutral Finnish title for the viscounty rank? How about my surname? Is there a gendernutural "child of winter" variant of the name?  I do like my name as is (and thank you again for your help in fixing the spelling), but now I am curious if there is another variant that might suit me better? Of course, you are the obvious person to ask!
