Little something for the Carnivores and Beast types post-threshold.

I'll be branching off of this for the feeding behavior at some point, but for the moment, here's the mindset.

Includes fix for prereqs2 trait-changing too.

"name" : "Hunter",
"points" : 3,
"description" : "You're getting quite used to hunting and killing ...game. For food.",
"note" : "That ellipsis is placed correctly: it indicates that the thinker takes a second to decide on that term. Hasn't gone all-out Monster yet, but xe's getting there.",

KA101 means, xe's. Xe is a gender-neutral pronoun invented because english doesn't have one.

Possessive is xyr, and third-person is xem. Not a common word in USian or UK English, so I'm not offended. Thanks for asking and for the answering. :-)

It does, though. 'They' is a gender-neutral pronoun.

Left off some qualifiers, sorry. Singular neutral-gendered third-person
pronoun. "They" is plural.

I'm not sure what the point of this discussion is. There is technically no
word that fills this role in English, one option is to misuse "they" as
singular, another is to coin a new word "xe", another is to use the awful
"s/he". They all have plusses and minuses. I'm not telling anyone what to
use, just clarifying what the word is.

Hazard of going posthuman carnivorous: people become just another prey
animal.  All the food of cannibalism, none of the morale effects.
