If it weren't for that scavenger in season 1, it would never occur to me to wonder about Scorpius's gender.
I think they play around a bit with fluid sexuality with Zhaan, but I also think that that's because it isn't really sexual with her.
There's also the fact that...uhm...why, with all those races, would we even assume that reproduction and arousal follow all the same rules as our race. I mean, let's face it, at the core, humans are aroused so that we'll want to have sex so that the species will continue. We don't have sex solely for that purpose, and not everyone is attracted only to those they could reproduce with, or even at all, but it's pretty much why our species has a sex drive in the first place. But why, when the series is certainly interested in some aspects of sexuality being explored, is it being assumed that every other race follows our rules?
On the Aeryn/John front: I adore Aeryn. (She's my favorite after Zhaan.) I like John. I think it's a good pairing and am on board with the "meant to be" bit. I just...can't feel it as much as I think I should.
