Bless you!
(Originally published earlier today on mastodon)
Seems like by natural selection there would be a genetic predisposition to sneezing in their species, until most of the sneeze most of the time.

Marijauna: As a hermaphrodite, i declare prior art.
Whiptail Lizard: You should check out Parthenogenesis. No wind required.
I guess it comes down to preference, but I do not think having no sex and no gender is superior at all. Those aliens can have their sexless lives.
No gender doesn't mean no sex though
They reproduce by sneezing. They're definitely not having sex.
I mean at that point sneezing is sex no?
Not according to any definition we have. Asexual reproduction isn't sex.
@Anticorp and you humans can have your racist ones. At least we don’t use other beings racial slurs.
Nice Ron!
Wait a second... Green xenos that reproduce by exhaling? That sounds awfully familiar...
Call the Inquisition.
Wait so if they sneeze does that get someone pregnant (if there’s no gender does that mean anyone could get pregnant)
But if the sneeze itself develops into a child I would think advanced aliens would either make the equivalent to protection, a miracle allergy medicine, or just some way to stop sneezing with a medical procedure (sneezesectomy?)
I might be overthinking this a little
@warandpeas Thank god Zorp isn't a developer. I can't image all the bugs that would be generated by just one sneeze.
