Also the dragons in Dealing With Dragons have a sex binary, sort of. But canon is that any dragon can do any job, and dragons decide which sex to be when they grow up. So the culture is very different from human gender culture.
I’d like it better the way dragons do it.
There are human gender cultures that work like that.
I used to know someone from a tribe where there were several different genders: Male, female, female-indoors/male-outdoors, male-indoors/female-outdoors, maybe others? And you chose at puberty which one you wanted to be. The person I knew had a female role indoors and a male role outdoors, and that was a normal gender in their culture. So was getting to choose at a certain age.
