Interesting. I do agree that, with the exception of the Avatar, benders can only bend their own element. However, Mysteria Femina has a point in that the first benders had to actually learn from something - so maybe after they learned to bend a certain element, they passed down those traits to others...but I don't think the creators of the show went that deep into it, though :)
