BMO cannot have a gender. Why? It's a robot. Attributing gender to a non-biological object is an ontological error, otherwise known as a category mistake. It is simply not applicable.

People have been trying and failing to produce a coherent binary definition of gender based on biology, and biology keeps being too messy. Actually, in terms of human sexuality, it is an objective biological binary trait. XX or XY.

The norm for human design is to be conceived either male or female. Human sexuality is binary by design with the obvious purpose being the reproduction and flourishing of our species. This principle is self-evident. The exceedingly rare disorders of sex development (DSDs), including but not limited to testicular feminization and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, are all medically identifiable deviations from the sexual binary norm, and are rightly recognized as disorders of human design. Individuals with DSDs do not constitute a third sex.

Emphasis mine.
