Lloyd Bridges's character on Sea Hunt had a weekly TV show he was eager to get home and watch, about some kind of cop or detective who worked on the ocean. It was endearing.
there is a scene in a later book where Murderbot is being forced to create a public feed profile, and when asked what name and gender it wants to display, it has a brief existential crisis and then goes with “SecUnit, gender=Not Applicable” just to shut everyone up
its organic components, and any intersection it has with the human experience, are the most agonizing and confusing parts of its existence. I think if it could use (null), or something less than (null), instead of it/its, it would
My mental image reading the books was kind of like Bubbles from Questionable Content. It does seem pretty clear tho that it was never assigned a gender and doesn't want one
Yeah the physical description we have is that it has quite short hair of a medium color and it is taller than most people but not enough to be really weirdly tall, and that's about it

From what I saw, most people picked 'female', followed by 'male', followed by 'none'.
Anyway, I appreciate that they went with clearly genital-free.
