You could release male mithra without messing with the lore TOO much (though it would be weird for all the men of the mithran race to suddenly come out of the closets they're being kept in). The Galka however, it doesn't make any sense.
I don't understand why races with non-human designs and social structures are so taboo. You can't have a non-gendered race because that's somehow sexist or something- it suppresses creativity.
I want a race like Species 8472 on Star Trek Voyager- They have 5 genders. Thattl' never happen though, because anything that doesn't have just males and females will get shot down.
