i love murderbot as like a representation of being nonbinary in a dangerous situation. when its public most of the time it has to choose between presenting itself as a governed secunit (aka "mindless killing machine") or a human, and both options make it upset, but it cant be neither because that would put it in danger. it doesnt tell people the name it gave itself because humans would find it weird and unsettling. it doesnt want to be perceived as human and it doesnt want to be perceived as a robot either!! murderbot my nonbinary hero
