I don't think channeling being locked into binary genders is actually reflective of the real working the WoT cosmology. Whether channeling is even possible doesn't seem to be fixed across different ages, and there's indications that it's essentially a crutch when dreaming, completely meaningless in the face of someone that can control the dream. None of that sounds like it's actually a fundamental metaphysical force, or if it is its definitely subordinate to other powers, like how Rand lights his pipe in the end by staring at it with his Sharingan even though he can't channel at all any more.

mossyfisk posted:If we're going to get into "The First Age" business... Jesus of Nazareth is the Dragon Reborn, right? But then we have a scene from when Rand visits one of his academies and the dude he talked to wondered out loud if people during the age of legends referred to their own timer period as "the third age". The implication is that every age is the fourth age since that's the midpoint of the wheel, if causality is cyclical there's no way to order a historical period in an absolute manner, which also mirrors why it's only "called the third age by some".
