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.
Emphasis mine.

Although to be fair, sexual orientation is not equivalent to gender. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one.

I suggest that people refer to Neptr as such for convenience only.
