As for the king/queen thing, there's a great book series beginning with "Dealing with Dragons", that addresses the notion of calling a female a king.
See, more or less, queens are secondary to kings thanks to sexist cultures. A queen's like a vice-president. Hence, in a non-sexist culture, either gender could be king or queen, depending on who's #1.
(also with The Lady of Pain as ruler of Sigil, it might be maze tempting material to call yourself the most influencial person in Sigil and a Queen at the same time. After all, The Lady is sometimes referred to as The Bladed Queen. Making so obvious a parrallel to yourself and The Lady is simply too dangerous. Hence 'King' and not 'Queen'. Besides, King holds more power in many cutters minds, so why limit yourself to being Queen when you can be King.)

"That garbage about hermaphroditic 'loths carries a worse smell about that writer's research than that of an ooze mephit does."
"And don't expect me to be hiking up my gown anytime soon to show you. You're not worth the pleasure of the experience I should say."
"And really, what does it matter anyways for a subrace of fiends such as Arcanaloths who can shapechange at will?"
"The lesser Yugoloths however are indeed in many cases both genders, for what it matters. I doubt you'll find a Mezzoloth thats feeling amorous very often though. So again, it doesn't matter does it?"
"I'm in a rather good mood at the moment otherwise, so you'll all get to keep your tongues and I can have Colcook put away the rope, the knives and the rings of regeneration."
(And one thing to remember about 'Faces of Evil' is that all the entries are written in character, and liable to IC bias and disinformation. So the material may be true, or slanted, or simply wrong. And besides... the in character editor admits that one of the writers of the 'loth section was a planted agent, but he doesn't know just which one...)
*hisses silently* "I'm so sppooooooky and mysticaaaallllll.... oooooooh...."

Hrmn.... that makes me wonder.. would the public display of an art piece of thee, lady 'loth, in all your glory, be considered an evil, or a good thing...
..Certainly, it would bring wonder to those that saw it, but yearning too, and broken homes as husbands become admirers... hmnn...
just kidding) can get over this little squabble. By the way, In the Cage calls her "Shemeshka the Marauder". Anyone care to clear this dark up?"How observant to notice my dear Rhys. Lets just say I decided to change the spelling on a whim. It's so fun correcting those who say it wrong now. I get to talk down to them, and watch them get scared because they think they've offended me by saying my name improperly. I get some perverse levels of pleasure from it all I'll admit."
