Include any character that is not traditionally and simply "male" or "female". May include real biology or fictional biology; characters from human and non-human species; etc.

Intersexed individuals of a species, especially humans.

  • Bull, Emma. Bonedance
  • Carlson, William. "Dinner at Helen's" in Strange Bedfellows, edited by Thomas Scortia (1972)
  • Cooney, Ellen. The Silver Rose (1979) (reminiscent of ancient greek theory: a deity's hermaphroditic child is split into two oppositely gendered beings until they re-unite)
  • Samuel R. Delany. The Einstein Intersection (1967) (hermaphroditic side characters)
  • Koster, R. M. Mandragon (1979) (hermaphroditic child raised as monster; then discovers or is discovered by powers)
  • McMahon, Donna. Dance of Knives (2002) (minor character is hermaphroditic; apparently mutagens have caused hermaphroditism to be not uncommon)

Gender changing individuals:

   *  Thomas T. Thomas, Crygender
