"Aliens" don't count. true that.

Especially true for comic books and race, and gender, but sme of the best gender benders I've seen are with aliens in Sci-Fi-- really interesting when you can have completely different cultures, even though it's hard to stay away from the Anthropocentric -very hard to do, because all we have for a speaking culture is human references, but in the insect or animal world, especially in different environments, behavior is definitely different.
