	Fallom is a character in Isaac Asimov’s [[foundation series]]. She appears in <u>Foundation and Earth</u>. Fallom is dual-sexed but referred to with the feminine pronoun. This is because Asimov had the sense to realize that ‘it’ is not an acceptable pronoun for people but not the sense to utilize ‘they’ as a non-gendered, singular pronoun. Fallom’s gender-identity is not addressed. Fallom is telekinetic and somewhere between eleven and fourteen years old.
