Near Lurker:
Oh, these two; you're right, the first especially is unambiguous. If Roko didn't know that, though, I guess she and Bubbles were right for the wrong reasons...?

I'm going to assume, until corrected, that Beeps is a Demi-woman, and uses she/her and they/them pronouns, which fits in with what was used in comic.

Man you folks are seeing something I'm not. In both those comments 'they' seems to me to mean Roko *and* Beepatrice.

I think that's exactly what he's doing. Jeph has referred to Beeps in the neuter in his commentary but there's nothing in-comic to suggest that our AI honeybun identifies as anything other than female.
[At this point I'll ask those of us with sensitive feet to put on a pair of steel-toed Red Wings (classic US work boots) for a minute. There's no construction without a little stomping.]
If Beeps has as much trouble coming to decisions about gender identity as with everything else, she/they-as-the-individual-may-prefer might well be having issues in that area too. The congregation here has discussed preferred pronouns ad nauseum, but I don't recall any instance in-strip of the characters having that conversation. [Edit - Ooops! Tilly.] I reckon BenRG is right - Jeph's fixin' to break that ground.
In re Roko v. 2 - she's going to have at least one and maybe several "Wow, I couldn't do THAT in my old chassis" moments. (Actually, admiring her new butt-logo was probably the first one.) As those experiences accumulate, her integration with her new body will grow.
