I think I have figured out a very plausible and logical reason for how the various mono-gendered liminal species were able to get started and keep their populations up before they started abductiing or claiming human or other species mates.

Its actually quite simple really....the very first members of the female only species were Partenogenetic.

So they could reproduce without the need for a mate. It also gives a valid reason why some species (like Harpies) all look exactly alike regardless of who they mate with.

It wasn't until later when they started becoming attracted to males from other species that the need for parthenogenesis was unneeded and they lost the ability to reproduce in that fashion.

It makes perfect sense if you think about it, and it answers a lot of questions that otherwise wouldn't have an actual answer.

Further proof can actually of this is actually confirmed in reality, as some of the animals the liminals were based on are (or can be) parthenogenetic in nature.
