As far as being irrelevant to the story goes, there is one example on the page where it actually is:

The Narrator in Into the Woods is not gender-specified until he is pulled into the story by the characters

That is, the Narrator isn't personified until he's on the same level of textuality as the other characters, and being identified with a gender is one aspect of that. It's an interesting idea, though even if there were other examples like it it would still be a different trope from this one.

Posting this comment to make public that I voted for "Disambiguate between The All-Concealing "I", Cross-Cast Role, Gender Neutral Writing, and possibly other tropes". I didn't downvote or upvote any of the other options.

Calling crowner in favor of "Disambiguate between The All-Concealing "I", Cross-Cast Role, Gender Neutral Writing, and possibly other tropes".

Page disambiguated, page type changed, and indexing removed except for adding it to the Ambiguity Index. I also posted a notice on the discussion page.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Trope Repair Shop: Gender Neutral Narrator

Crown Description:

Gender Neutral Narrator is not thriving and the fact that it's irrelevant to the story has raised concerns that it's People Sit On Chairs. What should be done with it?
