I guess I just can't fathom a fandom treating such things, which I consider meta and "philosophical", for a very broad and given value of the word, differently. I understand that expressions of fandom would be different, such as more fanfiction coming from women (at least from those that give their gender, because god knows there are plenty of secrets on here from males who are afraid/tentative about admitting it.) And, well, Eugenesis is obviously either evidence to the contrary or an incredibly massive, glorious exception).

Thank you so much for explaining your point of view and clarifying points. I am very sorry if I sounded combative, and over-assumed regarding pronouns. For the record, my point there was that the writers had to use SOMETHING if they wanted to portray the bots as living beings rather than the inanimate/non-living ("it"), and since English relies heavily on pronouns, which are gendered, they needed to pick one or the other. I don't doubt that Hasbro chose "he" because of the fact that they were marketing towards boys, but I don't think it automatically discredits the argument of Cybertronians being genderless. Or their having MANY genders. Through a friend of a friend I know of someone who recently presented the argument that they're gendered by bodytype. Ie, Perceptor and Prime could be considered one gender while Bee and Cliffjumper would be another one, which is certainly an interesting theory.
