History Main / AmbiguousGender

* Invoked InUniverse in the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' AlternateUniverseFic, ''Fanfic/SomethingAlwaysRemains'' when Mike wonders if Toy Bonnie's redesign was an effort to better match the character's girly name, and again when Vanna picks up on the fact that [[spoiler: Spring Bonnie]], at that point assumed to be a he, was originally built as a she. This becomes plot important later when it's revealed that [[spoiler: the character was based off the woman who built and worked the suit, and later versions of Bonnie made the character male as part of the rebrand after her death]]. It gets even more complicated when [[spoiler: the ghosts haunting the suit don't always match the current presented gender]].

* The ''ComicBook/InvaderZimOni'' comic series features Recap Kid, who gives a (suitably manic and inaccurate) PreviouslyOn at the beginning of most issues. Creator/JhonenVasquez wrote the character's dialogue for the first issue, but [[WordOfGod commented]] "He (or she? I never specified and Aaron Alexovich's art keeps it mysterious)..." For what it's worth, Recap Kid [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics has eyelashes]], but when asked if this makes them a girl, story artist Megan Lawton [[WordOfSaintPaul responded]] "[[ShapedLikeItself Recap Kid is a kid]]."
* Yazz in ''Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' was an alien who looked like a blue pterodactyl in a vest. When Franchise/TheFlash asked "Don't you miss the female of your species?" Yazz replied "What if I ''am'' the female of my species?" Wally then kept badgering the alien to say whether or not that was a joke, and Yazz found this need to know so intriguing that they decided to leave it ambiguous so as to continue observing the behaviour.
* In ''ComicBook/RedRobin,'' the Council of Spiders member code named "Goliath" is large, vaguely humanoid with spider-like attributes, of unknown possibly extraterrestrial origin and never addressed with gendered pronouns.
* Desire of the Endless in ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'' has no fixed sex, and is androgynous, fluctuates between all sexes. Being the anthropomorphic personification of desire, to the reader (and to presumably most people who perceive it) Desire usually shows a mix of traditional gendered traits, such as a suit and tie with feminine facial features and lipstick.
* Indigo of ''ComicBook/SovereignSeven'' was said to be able to swap between male and female at will.

** Tzimisce named character Sascha Vykos is exclusively referred to with the pronoun "it" and is so extensively fleshcrafted that any trace of its original gender, or indeed body, is unidentifiable. A lot of Tzimisce, especially those on the [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Path Of Metamorphosis]] modify their bodies in extreme ways in order to distance themselves from their former humanity, but Vykos takes it to a level even other Tzimisce find extreme. As of recently, however, Vykos has taken to referring to themselves as "they," showing a complete divorce from gender while still maintaining a sense of identity (and probably to avoid unfortunate implications as towards non-binary individuals).
