When I write a Klingon story, I tend to forget about considering the sex of
the characters (I really haven't written any stories about parmaq . . .). A
warrior is a warrior, male or female. I will write the story, and realize
later that I never even though to consider the gender of the characters.
(Typically, they're male in my mind, but I rather like the ambiguity. I don't
consider myself sexist, and I'd be just as comfortable considering all of my
characters as females.)
When they blast you out of orbit, it hardly matters.
