*In Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's collaborative novel ''Good Omens,'' Neil Gaiman has confirmed that both of the main characters are non-binary, and they present as different genders at times in both the book and the 2019 tv-series (Crowley presenting as female as a nanny, and Aziraphale presenting as female while possessing madame Tracy).

The book specifically says that all angels and demons in it are neither male nor female. | *In Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's collaborative novel ''Good Omens,'' Neil Gaiman has confirmed that both of the main characters are non-binary, and they present as different genders at times in both the book and the 2019 tv-series (Crowley presenting as female as a nanny, and Aziraphale presenting as female while possessing madame Tracy).
