In the show, gems are asexual, non gendered. They just use female pronouns for convenience.

They never really covered reproduction in depth, except that they're crystals grown in rock substrate. They're closer to computer than biological.

What if gem gender is the type of gem? Like Pearl is a gender, Ruby is a gender... If gem is a species, then type, or "cut" is the biggest difference between them. If this is the case, then the disgust at fusions of different types can be explained as heterophobia. Gems only accept gay relationships, hetero sex is disgusting to them.

i dont think each type of fem is a different gender, as they use that as names and female genders. the rest of what you said does make a lot if sense, but fusion is a representation of strong relationships, not sex. so its even worse, they think it's disgusting for different types of gems to even be good friends

And yet, neurodivergent dad managed to fuck a rock 🗿

That reminds of an NSFW meme I once saw where Greg was being accused of killing Rose Quartz... due to his stick being way too powerful in bed...

(I'm so sorry, I just needed to know if anyone had seen that meme)

Impressive work, however you slice it.
