I'm currently reading the Technomage Trilogy, and there is a female drazi mentioned in passing in one of the books. That got me wondering, I don't remember hearing about female drazis in B5, where are they? I think in one of the episodes, it was mentioned that drazi women didn't have the same rights as men so they stayed home, I also heard that the drazi were hermaphrodites. Does anyone know about Drazi gender?

Yes, I recall Londo provoking the Drazi ambassador with talk about his wife. One could guess that Drazi genders are simply very similar. Most aliens, humans included, might not notice the difference.
Lennier has it right - as far as I know. I don't have the quote, but I think JMS stated that it's nearly impossible to tell the difference between male and female Drazi if you're not a Drazi (or a thief who knows where to look - but most live Drazi wouldn't let you get that close /forums/images/icons/grin.gif). This makes sense - no reason to expect as wide physical difference between the genders like we Earthers have - especially since the Drazi are reptillian and seem mostly monochromatic in skin color. I think most people refer to Drazi as "he" since they just can't tell - even their voices are distinctive.
The mages could tell the Drazi was female probably because of all their sensors and experience ... but maybe even more likely was the fact that she was trying to act like a Human and possibly acting more femininely.
And as for Londo ... he has a way of finding the ladies. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

What's a good name for a female Drazi? All I could think of was Liz (short for lizard...I know, bad one) /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Well it's not like we hear many Drazi names in general, heh. For most of the actual series it was "Drazi Ambassador" or "Drazi Merchant" or whatnot. I don't think anyone ever addressed the ambassador by his (or her if there happened to be a female at the time, not like we could tell, heh) propper name. Other than the books ... the only Drazi I can think of where we heard an actual name was our beloved heavy lifter Tirk. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think there are some Drazi names in some of the books, one in particular in the Passing of the Technomages.

I wonder what idea... oh wait... do we know which gender Tirk is? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I think it was Drozak... I could be wrong though.
I do know that Markas says the guys name. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
