Misleadingly titled in a way that has attracted natter (new crowner Sept 29): No Gender

Uni Sex?

Unisex means something that works for either sex. Toilets are unisex. It's never used for people.

Biologically Genderless?

Hmm. If I may play the dictionary card, some close pre-existing terms for this would be "asexual" or "sexless".

I like No Biological Sex.

Yes, those are the correct terms, but they're more commonly used these days for the sexual orientation of not being interested in sex.

And, in fact, Asexuality is already being used for that.

Do people really use "sexless" to mean "asexual" (in the modern, orientation-related meaning), though?

Because I could see Sexless as a possible title for this trope otherwise.

"Sexless" I used for people who are not getting any. Like Sexless Marriage and so on.

Yes, yes they do. As Raso said, it basically just means you aren't getting any.

No Biological Sex is accurate but seems boring to me. I still like Self Assigned Gender, or maybe Non Biological Gender (since their gender has nothing to do with their biology)?

Self Assigned Gender make it sound like a real Gender Bender choosing to live as one sex.

IJBM on the face that Asexual is taken already... No Gender Race? Clone of One-Gender Race though.

Asexual Reproduction?

Self Assigned Gender and Non Biological Gender sound like tropes about transexuals and neither of those have anything to do with that the trope is.

Asexual Reproduction doesn't work. Most of the examples are sterile and aren't reproducing at all. Besides, it sounds like a completely different trope. Like for how tribbles reproduce or parasprites.

Good point also probably should Ykttw Asexual Reproduction. That's easily a trope.

There is now a single proposition rename crowner for this trope here. I am hoping that it will help speed up the process of dealing with this trope's problems.

Crowner hooked.

If we wanted to snowclone One-Gender Race, maybe Non Gendered Race.

Bump for more votes.

It seems Ambiguous Gender links to this page and claimed "indentify[ing] as genderless" counts, so that may have caused some of the confusion. I've gone ahead and nuked that bit.

As for the title, anyone who assumes "gender" automatically equals "gender identity" needs to be hit over the head with a dictionary. Hard and repetitively.

Null Sex.

Gets around that "No Sex Allowed" while showing something is not male/female/whatever or even neutered.

No Physical Gender? (Okay, I was surprised when I heard the phrase "physical gender", but that doesn't necessarily mean everyone finds it weird.) Otherwise, my vote would be for No Biological Gender.

Yes it needs to be renamed because the title is wrong. That's why the examples don't match the description because it's not describing a lack of gender. Good job catching that Feotakahari.

No Biological Sex seems to work best, though I agree that it's a little boring.

I quite like it. It's very hard to misunderstand.

I still prefer Null Sex.

While we're at it, do we want to make an exclusion for robots and the likes in the description?

That exception should be limited to cases where there's no reason to expect them to have a sex - a sexless anthroid should still count.
