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?
