By the way, I think you meant to say "hermaphroditic". "Bisexual" means something completely different.  :-\

Yes, I mean "bisexual" in the sense that means having both male and female reproductive organs. I am somewhat peeved that the term was commandeered by sexuality psychologists, as it is the simplest and most logical term for the biological sense. For people who know any degree of Latin, that is.

Basically, what I am saying is I don't like Greek words. ;)

I'm looking at you, "hermaphrodite".

Sortitus, the creatures are without gender. Entirely without. Zilch, nothing, notta. They aren't asexual. They aren't anything sexual. To even use the term sex at when referring to their “gender” is very incorrect. (To even try to define their gender is asinine waste of everyone’s time ;).)

Also, I want to try and keep it as grammatically correct as possible = I'm not using as singular "they". I’ve done a lot of research before hand, and I’ve got a good reason for using “it” and using Japanese honorifics.
