Is it cold in here?:
Just to add to the confusion, there's no inherent reason why an AI's gender setting should have the same effect as the identity setting(s) in a human brain.
SageJiraiya:
May said that she was dressed as a maid based on dale's interests. Perhaps that's why she manifests herself as female? I seem to remember pintsize freaking out when he learned that another anthropc he had flirted with online, assumed to be a female, turned out to be male. He also once explained that anthropc gender is merely defined by the intake or output of packets to them, but maybe that's not so canon?
So far I think anthropc gender is variable.
What's odd is that most of the male anthropcs we've seen have been kinda crazy in some way or another, from pintsize, to that neckbearded one, to Winslow, to station.
Until May came along, pretty much all female anthropcs were polite and friendly, and pretty calm too.
This isn't a judgement of mine on gender roles in society, but I wonder if our Creator has clear reasons for portraying characters this way. So, it's just a fictional judgement.

--- Quote from: Question ---Do AI’s have any inherent concept of gender, or does that just get attributed to them by human society when they choose their chassis/holo-manifestation/whatever?

--- Quote from: Jeph ---I did a little bit of exposition about this WAYYYYY back in the day with Pintsize and IIRC it still makes sense. Basically they’re free to choose a gender if they feel like it. They are also free to be a purple robot spider if they feel like it.

Sage, I want to remind you of weird mall robot ("the malls are alive with the sounds of music")
my archive-fu is consistently failing me recently.
