Bethesda are cowards. We should be able to romance original robot Curie.

Curie from Fallout 4 is transfem. Please bear with me.
In the lab where she is found, according to the terminal of the Vault Tec scientist who created her, she was built out of a repurposed Mr. Handy his team already had. She was not a Ms. Nanny out of the box, she was a Mr. Handy who was given a female voice and presumably painted white. True, there is no real mechanical difference between the Mr. Handy and Ms. Nanny, but regardless, she used to be a Mr. Handy. This reasoning may seem flimsy, as she probably wasn't sentient at the time her robo-gender was changed and almost certainly didn't choose to make the change, but this is only half of my case.
Consider her entire character arc, about wanting to become human and eventually managing to upload her conciousness into the body of a synth. An imperfect yet more than sufficient solution, this new body allows Curie to easily pass as human, experience human senses, and for all intents and purposes be a biological being, just a synthetically created one, missing a few features such as reproduction but still far more physically human than machine. She is happy with this compromise, and presumably lives out the rest of her days happily as a human woman.
Like what else is there to say, that's a transition. That's just about as tight an allegory for a gender transition that I can imagine a robot undergoing without them explicitly being transgender. The factory built her as a male model of robot, and she would go on to gain sentience, discover herself, decide she didn't want to inhabit that body anymore, and become a woman.
Curie from Fallout 4 is trans. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Do you know if you want better robots for serving peons you might want to talk to our friends at general atomics
RobCo,
As someone who has owned one of General Atomic's Mister Handy's, I regret to report that I find that General Atomics makes an inferior product.
My Mister Handy "Codsworth" cavorted with my wife. Then, the world ended in atomic fire. These two things are related.
I find their arms creepy, and they remind me of squids or horrible octopi.
They lack the raw sex appeal that most people associate with Protectrons and Assaultrons.
Another robot, a Miss Nanny that I had the misfortune of meeting, now lives in the body of a synth, which I find highly upsetting.
So, I shall not patronise the mongrels that run General Atomics.
I hope you have a good day.
Your Friend,
Ronald Aldous Dodson Jr.

[ID: A digital drawing. Codsworth the Mr. Handy robot from fallout 4 is pictured. He is wearing a bowler hat. Codsworth has a very sketchy thin outline and is painted in shades of blue with brown rust patches. Two of his eyes are looking to the left and he is facing forward. He has three yellow lines to his left like the cartoon happy indicators. The background is a pale blue-grey painted with hints of red at the edges. In the bottom left is the artist signature “typos & tea ‘24 :)” in dark pink. End ID]
