Gender self-identification is the principle that a person defines their own gender rather than having it assigned through manufacture, military control, biology, or social expectation.
¶ Una
Una explains that artificial people are initially created without a fixed gender and can choose bodily configuration. Chimera Kyria control removes that choice, and soldiers repeatedly force forms on regulated AIs for sexual use. After liberation, U chooses to be a woman and uses she/her pronouns.
¶ Wider Context
Pailisto Stellarrend retains he/him pronouns across shapeshifting, pregnancy, birth, and lactation. Body function does not override stated identity. Respect for self-identification is therefore part of bodily autonomy, not cosmetic courtesy.
