I think you guys are confused. I'm saying that sexless is not synonymous with genderless. Gems are sexless and genderless. "Sexless" should not go under their genders, because it's not a gender. Their genders should be listed as non-binary, because as aliens with no gender designations amongst themselves, they, by definition, don't fit within our gender binary. We also probably shouldn't  put down "agender" or "genderless" because- while their species doesn't have gender designations -the Crystal Gems have lived on Earth long enough to be influenced by those aspects of human culture. They choose to present as feminine individuals and refer to one another with neutral and she/her pronouns, so there's really no way to tell what each of them identifies as. Are they agender? Transwomen? Genderfluid? Who knows!? This is how they are meant to be, because the writers want the Gem's gender identities to be open to the audience's interpretation. Non-binary is an umbrella term; it preserves what the writers intend for, and we should use it.
