In the 1969 novel The Left Hand of Darkness, author Ursula K. Le Guin
contrives a world inhabited by a genderless population, a sort of
middle sex who only become either male or female when they are, shall
we say – courting. Her imaginings, one of the first to articulate
gender as fluid and relational, according to a recent issue of OUT
magazine, explores the broad possibilities for a world in which people
are human first – then male or female.
