Maya Forstater Herts Libraries Hertfordshire County Council I don't think this is a problem. Aliens don't have to reproduce sexually. There's an advantage in having a character that isn't identifiably male or female as it can be equally relatable to either sex and avoid promoting gender stereotypes.
