Here's an interesting exploration of gender in Ann Leckie's books. I'd hoped it would address the more complex gender identities in the various non-Radch societies we encounter in the spinoff books, but there's still lots of ground to cover just looking at the supposedly single-gendered Radch and their newly genderless enslaved soldiers. #AnnLeckie #ImperialRadch #Radch

CW: Ann Leckie's Radiant Star (structural spoilers only)
I liked it!
A cute, clever book set concurrently with the Radch Civil War from the original "Ancillary" trilogy, but on a planet of no particular significance to the Radch or the war.
So. Many. Pronoun sets. :D (Leckie has fun with them in this one.)
Hashtag soup follows:

Love "When I was a ship," a fan song for Ann Leckie's ANCILLARY JUSTICE, sung from the POV of the ship Justice of Toren, reduced to the single-bodied person Breq. #FanArt #ImperialRadch #AncillaryJustice
"When I was a ship, when I was a weapon, when I wasn't configured to ask any questions ... when I was a sword, when I was reliable, when I was the hand, when I was pliable..."
So, so good.

Sort of random thought: Hild is also a bit like Breq, isn't she? Has enhanced modes of perception, which can feel like foresight, badass fighting skills, is good with children even though it seems unlikely, and acquires devoted fighters and dependents she cares very much about.
A difference: She's more self-aware, aware of her emotions, and goals, than Breq ist, and far less concerned with ethics.

@quidcumque
Well then, you may wish to read some of Ann Leckie's other writing in that setting: short story She Commands Me And I Obey, novels Provenance and Translation State.But also: the Romanovan culture is only a couple centuries distant from Gender, and still lives cheek by jowl with cultures that practice it. The Radch is millennia removed from acknowledging any distinction in practice other than Radchaai and non-Radchaai.

They aren't gender-neutral then, they just want to be and are lying to themselves if they believe they've already done it, and they do take steps towards changing that system in the end.
And while a lot has got to change in the Radch, I do hope they keep their system while acknowledging other cultures do things differently and loaning pronouns from other languages to accommodate them.

It's interesting to compare with the Alliance from @adapalmer's "Terra Ignota" series here. They also are a nominally gender-neutral society using only one third-person pronoun ("they") and eschewing gendered names and clothes.
But there, it's a thing the society implemented but still chafes against: people do use gendered names and appearances, do gendered sexual play, and can be pushed towards a dominance of male leaders with not much effort.

And that doesn't feel like propaganda: the Radchaai also pride themselves on their aptitudes-based meritocracy, and it's made very clear that they're lying to themselves in this case and the system isn't just based on merit at all. But gender doesn't play a role as status, diction, and ethnicity do.
As a person who doesn't really get gender, I do like that.
(I also like tea a lot. Those are the Radchaai redeeming qualities!)

Still thinking about pronouns and gender in the Imperial Radch books, thanks @ergative for the really stimulating essay and discussion!
What I enjoy about the Radch is that while they're being imperialist and dismissive in ignoring other cultures' genders and pronouns, they do seem to be genuinely gender-neutral themselves. They don't behave like people "not seeing race", who are still racist; they really don't seem to care among themselves.
