    Jokes aside, I think Frieza (at least the American VO version) was the first character that made me wonder about the gender norms forced upon us by the church. The voice and initial behavior was fairly feminine, but then it was supposed to be a male the whole time? Or maybe neither! I’m kinda glad they never really called it out. If they did, I missed it and wasn’t a serious part of the plot.

      They’ve referred to Frieza as a “he” a few times in the English and original Japanese version.

      As well as the non cannon movie about his brother Cooler.

        That’s probably where I had the subconscious thought Frieza was intended to be a male.

        No genitals, though! Just a lump, like King Cold and Coola. Wait… were those even tails?!
