I think I do not want my gender bent by bender, thank you very much
Bender: "Don't knock it 'til you try it, meatbag."
Bender had his gender bent twice! Once when he had a sex change operation and became Coilette to participate in the robot Olympics, and later when the Borax Kid and the Rock Alien changed the gender of everyone on the Planet Express.
Both episodes are imperfect through today's lens but I actually did enjoy the Coilette episode.
"You're making us look bad in front of the other genders!" And "Do you promise to get out of my gender and stay out?"
You never know, you may end up wanting to ~~eat~~ bite Bender's shiney metal ass.

"He's"
So Gender is male? Interesting.
Judith Butler has entered the chat
Well associating pronouns with a certain gender is also a social construct, so it still tracks.
At least right now
Could be the generic he too
But it's a specific he. It's referring to a specific person.
And why is a generic pronoun male?
The answer to your second question is that 'he' was historically used as generic pronouns, though it's not as acceptable nowadays.
It still is in Spanish, language is weird
No, he's a robot.
Gender is no one's slave (other than for kinky reasons)
What does being a robot have to do with anything? He still has male pronouns.
- Robots presumably don't have a need to be gendered, at least in most portrayal of robots I've seen.
- The creator refered to it with a male pronouns, probably because their vision of the character have masculine features. That doesn't necessarily mean the character itself is male gendered.
Yeah, gender being a social construct doesn't mean everyone everywhere just suddenly becomes genderless androgynous blobs, we still express our gender in the ways we want to express them.
For example High heels, sheer leggings, long curly hair, and a flowy skirt and poofy blouse adorned with shiny bits. Am I describing the style dress of women today or the style of dress of 17th century French kings?

Trick question, the answer is yes
Always fun when art includes the Warforged standard three finger hands rather than the human standard five finger ones. It's such a little detail that doesn't truly matter (may not even be playing in Eberron, or could be a non-standard Eberron with slightly different lore, the distinction will probably never actually come up, etc), but it's always nice to see
I like that player.
I've had this idea for a trans pirate pc for awhile that would fit in well on Genders table. Captain Cuntbeard gets his name from being a loud and lewd ladies man, always bragging about conquests and offering to let the cabin boy smell his fingers. He says his name is because he can't get the stink out of his ticklewhiskers no matter what. He is also prepolymorph, so his beard is fake, he shaves his genitals and thighs and glues it onto his face. His motivation for being a pirate is enough gold for a permanent polymorph spell or magic item, in the meantime he has a small stock of polymorph potions that he occasionally uses. He has this whole routine where he gets a barmaid into private, does the whole get comfy we don't have to do anything, tells her his secret, seduces her, and begs her to keep his secret for fear of his life...
