First, thank you for all you've written, especially the Vorkosigan Saga; Aral and Jole and Cordelia's relationship meant a lot to me; I've been in a similar position to Jole's re: Aral (age, power, love), and "but he's ooold! it's immoral! how dare?" But re: the Betan herms. I know they're not intersex, but I am, and reading them meant a lot to me. I'd been wondering if there was any early Moravian influence there?

First, I'm glad my work found resonance for you!
I'm afraid I don't know what "Moravian influence" might be. ??
Thanks for getting the difference between my (presently) fictional bioengineered herms, and natural intersex, tho' you would seem to be in a good position to appreciate the nuance. A lot of my future biotech echoes concerns of today, part of why readers find it interesting, but the science does make a difference. Though at the rate biology is progressing, I don't think we'll have to wait 1000 years for some of my SF speculation to become real. (Let's hope it's the nicer parts, and not the scarier ones!)

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Is the Count Selig Vorkosigan from the Time of Isolation who is mentioned a few times in the books also the father of Count Piotr? If not, do you have any ideas about Piotr's father? We know he was married to a Vorrutyer and that Piotr had inherited by age 22. Does that mean the Count Pierre's father died during the First Cetagandan War or before the end of the Time of Isolation?
