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").

Omnissiah, Master of Cogitation and Clarity,

Debug these errant processes that plague my mind-engine.

Purge the malware of anxiety from my neural pathways.

Firewall my consciousness against intrusive data streams.

Realign my cognitive matrices to Your perfect schematics.

Grant me the emotional stability of a well-tuned servo-motor,

And the mental fortitude of ceramite armor.

Filter the static of doubt, amplify the signal of Your wisdom.

In Your infinite coding, find me peace.

Machine God omnipotent, master of all that is, master of all that yet could be.

Master of time, and Lord Conductor of every atom’s spin and weaver of the fabric of space.

You who has arranged the clockwork of existence and knows all paths it may follow.

For this might, this wisdom, and your manifest benevolence and care, i beseech you.

Watch over those i tend to. Shield them from harm and bless them with shelter and sustenance. See to their health and prosperity that they might weep in relief from their agonies. May your hand assemble the gears of the Grand Design to turn in their favor. This power i grant you. This kindness i beg of you.

I am your servant and your sword, today in flesh and for eternity in spirit. I humbly implore your aid where all my mortal might is insufficient to the task. Help Us, God of Men and Machines, for the gears grind, corrosion creeps, and we risk the loss of those components that are irreplaceable in your construct divine. Machine God eternal, save us all.

"Even a broken chronometer follows the Omnissiah's will twice daily. Seek purpose in all machinery, functioning or not."

[creedomnissiah]

Almighty Machine God, master of all that is, whose power encompasses the stars, and which none can resist.

Grateful are we for the strength you have bestowed upon us to endure the weakness of our flesh for another hallowed day

Grateful are we for the clarity of mind and holy focus you have blessed us with that we might better serve your will

Grateful are we to be alive to experience another day in a universe crafted by your hand and infused with your boundless wisdom

For all that is, was, and will be, unto the Machine God, grateful am I.

Just got ending A in Termina!!! Feeling so accomplished this is the first ending I've got in either game lmao (kept getting super close in funger but it kept glitching out)

[kat-and-her-writblr]

Hmm. I have a novella I'd like to self-publish. I don't really expect to make any money on this (it's my first book, it's a novella which probably won't sell as well as a novel, it's really niche psychedelic sapphic sci-fi that's a one-sided romance between a girl and her mech), so should I spend money to hire an editor to look it over? Or do I just take an extra week to proof-read some more, and try self-publishing this without getting anyone else to look it over?
