I agree wholeheartedly! I make my robots non gendered as a kind of point that assigning gender to things that can’t or haven’t affirmed that is unhelpful. That includes baby humans. :)

I mean I think it's pretty unhelpful even for adult humans. If someone tells me that they are "man" or a "woman", then that tells me... pretty much nothimg about them. So why bother?

You can actually pretty much do what you want, regardless of your gender. It is a myth that your "sex" or "gender" forces you into certain roles. Your physical attributes may influence your roles, to some extent (giving birth, lifting heavy stuff,...).

There are definitely segments of society that have different expectations for people they categorise as "men" and "women" though. I certainly come across "you're a man, can you help me open this jar" (even though I'm physically weaker than a lot of the women I live with), and plenty of people thinking that because I'm a man that I won't be caring/empathetic.
