Is that people keep posting about ‘male’ and ‘female’ Andorians….
But it was established in canon (the TNG episode where Wes was getting dating advice, i believe) that Andorian marriages require four individuals and in the Deep Space Nine relaunch novels, four-person Andorian marriages were extrapolated into four sexes (thaan, chen, shen and zhen).
I know people can take and discard whatever they want from apocrypha, but it just bugs me to see no one acknowledging it.
Right? Also, IDing as genderqueer & agender and costuming as a chan and still hearing “BLUE CHICKS” and “ANDORIAN LADIES” every time.
See the way I always saw it was Andorians have four sexes, but what we would see as two genders, considering we only really see on-screen what one would consider “male” and “female” Andorians. So as far as I’m concerned, they have four sexes, but two social “genders”.
