Alpha Centaurans were hermaphrodites, sometimes pejoratively referred to as "it". Nevertheless, the Third Doctor generally used masculine pronouns to refer to the Federation ambassador to Peladon. (TV: The Curse of Peladon)
Chelonians were hermaphrodites and all members could lay eggs. Despite this, Chelonians were referred to as males. (PROSE: The Highest Science)
The Sloathes, (PROSE: Sky Pirates!) the Brascans, (PROSE: Kursaal) and the Torcaldians (PROSE: The Ruins of Time) were also hermaphrodites.
Circa 2360, it became popular among humans to become hermaphrodites. In 2363, the fad ended. Wanting to find a way to quickly populate colony planets, the Earth government conducted experiments in super-fertility with some of the hermaphrodites. (PROSE: Dead Romance)
