The Darkover series repeatedly mentions the existence of <EM>emmasca</EM> (neuters, who may be born neuter or made that way) and of <EM>chieri</EM> (an alien but humanoid race of shifting sex and gender).  <EM>The Fall of Neskaya</EM> (DAW, 2001) features a fairly prominent <EM>emmasca</EM> character, the Keeper Kieran, human but with some <EM>chieri</EM> ancestry.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.glbtfantasy.com/?section=lists&sub=sfgender"><P><A href="?section=scifi&auth=Octavia+E.+Butler"><STRONG>Butler, Octavia</STRONG></A>.  The omnibus <EM>Lilith's Brood</EM> (Warner Aspect, 1989) introduces the Oankali, who have three sexes: male, female, and <EM>ooloi</EM>.  The <EM>ooloi</EM> enable the others to reproduce by blending components of their genetic makeup.  And they proceed to do the same thing with humans, which definitely challenges human gender-identity and arguably alters the biological sex roles as well.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/312A1EA3-5615-4305-88AE-006BDD46F78E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
