The only problem with the Andorian tag…
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”.
