Gender and the Adeptus Mechanicus

Oh boy! Time to probably turn off my inbox two hours after posting this question!

So I am running a Dark Heresy one-shot campaign over Discord, to introduce a good friend to the setting. Said friend has chosen to play a Tech Priest (yay! I love cog-boys!) which is especially fun because it gives me an instant-in for the character, and because they asked me about the topic of gender in the Cult Mechanicus.

I have some opinions on the topic. @a-krogan-skald-and-bearsark said it pretty well, though: "There's great scope for gender fuckery with the Mechanicus that GW has scrupulously avoided exploring." As, you know, they generally do. Because we can't have a mature discussion about LGBTQIA2S+ things in Warhammer, especially gender queerness (or even gender, period) without someone crying "bUt SpAcE mArInEs CaN't Be FeMaLe!!?"

Anyway. Snarkiness aside, I thought I'd throw the question out to tumblr for your opinions! I know there's likeminded and/or queer fans of Dark Heresy and Warhammer 40k here on the site.

Do you have any thoughts on gender in the Cult Mechanicus? Bonus points if they're on the topics of gender transition augmentations (side quest: "transcending the flesh").
