I really do need some quotes from this story on the topic of sex/gender.

Anyway, definitionally, gender is not defined by one's sex, certainly not one's primary sexual characteristics. So, in the real world, the loss of one's penis says nothing about their gender at all, and I can't imagine it having an effect on their pronouns unless they choose to redefine their identity because of it.

I do want more information about this, though. He's referred to with he/him pronouns by whom? Does he himself use he/him pronouns? How is he defined, sex- or gender-wise? Tybort alluded to a brief conversation between Jan and Ace. I'm probably going to need to get the novel and audio, won't I?
