How do or don't they explore and expand our ideas of gender? Remember that neuter doesn't mean the same thing as asexual, androgynous, or hermaphrodite.&rdquo; But I sort of feel like panel descriptions should, to be useful and interesting, say more than just &ldquo;discuss this topic.&rdquo; I started to specifically mention certain common attributes of neuter sf characters, as a starting point for discussion, but I bogged down quickly in trying to make generalizations about too small a sample space.<\/p>\n<p>So I figured I would turn to the Internet.
