Please cite your sources by also specifying the page, to facilitate verification
[edit]I have noticed that in your edits such as this that you have added this statement:
Effeminate people, whether biologically male or female, were always handled gently, regardless of their societal class.[1]
Unfortunately, you have not provided the pages of the book of William Henry Scott that actually support your claim. I've made a quick search on the online copy of Scott's book using the keywords "asog" and "gently" and it has not yielded the results that would be useful to verify the sentence you have added. I have decided to delete your unsourced contribution as it doesn't satisfy the verifiability guidelines of Wikipedia. As a new user, you are urged to read the guidelines on how to provide reliable sources for your Wiki contributions. Of course, you are allowed to restore the above statement in the Wiki pages where you added them once you have provided sufficient proof that W.H. Scott's book supports your statement.

Regarding original research
[edit]Regarding your undoing of my edit:
In Bisaya mythology, the supreme god Kaptan, among his three giant messengers, was said to always favor his messenger, Sinogo, who he loved due to his handsome face.[2] Additionally, Maguayen, the Bisaya deity of the sea, has been known to have both female[3] and male forms.[4] Under the female form, Maguayen is the goddess of the sea who went to war against Kaptan during the beginning.[5] In at least one account, Maguayen and Kaptan married each other to preserve the peace.[6] Under the male form, Maguayen was the ruler of the sea and the sibling of Kaptan.[7]
This passage primarily uses primary sources. The Miller and the Hill sources are both primary accounts of the mythologies. Before including them to "Representations in indigenous mythologies", please look for secondary source articles that identify them as such, or else they will be deleted as personal analysis of primary source accounts, which is against the no original research guidelines.
