Pretty soon you will not only be able to have sex with your robot, he or she will be able to get pregnant.DaveC426913 said:Physiological sex, gender identity and orientation are all different things.
And there's no need to copulate to have a baby these days.
In fact, there's no need to even gestate to have a baby these days.
Heck, it's not even necessary to be female to gestate a baby.
I wonder how robots will identify...

On the subject of koalas: while doing my Ph.D. I shared an office with another student who was into some woo stuff. One day, she spilled a bottle of essential oil of eucalyptus on her desk. We had to leave the window open to air the office and I was afraid koalas would be attracted and take over the office
