can we stop just using "ambiguous gender" to refer to "anyone who isn't cisgender". it's not ambiguous just because it's not the traditional binary

I notice Vaarsuvius from The Order of the Stick has been removed per Word of God stating that they're genderqueer (question 6). If they're genderqueer, and most people in-universe make assumptions about them being male or female, isn't that still ambigious gender? After all, Word of God is also that V is never going to say "I'm genderqueer", because they don't care.

Even if I'm wrong about that, in the absence (AFAIK) of Word of God about V's spouse, should Inkyrius be on the list?

Not sure about the last line of this:

  • Mistoffelees from Cats, though he is referred to as a "he", tends to share the choreography of the female cats more than the toms, in several stage versions he isn't matched with anyone at the mating dance, and a line from his signature song implies that "he" has had kittens. In the original T.S. Eliot poem, it's more obvious that Mistoffelees is actually a female cat.

Here's the poem. The only suggestion Mistoffelees might be female I can see are the kittens, although I don't regard the honorific and pronouns as being definitive proof to the contrary either, since as suggested, the human narrator could be mistaken.

So who is that in the picture? It looks like a guy to me.

Actually a girl.

Since there wasn't reason given in page history, I restored the image.
