Sex = Hardware
Gender = Operating System
If a Mac computer was sentient, it might choose to use a Windows operating system on its hardware, if it feels that Windows will allow it to fulfill its purpose in life better. However, the Mac computer cannot change itself into a Microsoft computer, but should not make a difference because the Mac computer acts exactly like a Windows computer.
Using that logic, theoretically, there can be a Biomechanical species (called Reychons) that has only 1 hardware but 100 different operating systems. They only asexually reproduce, but their operating system still tells them that they have to go about reproducing and rearing offspring a certain way, which they can also edit based on internal or external stimulus. They're not endangered as a species, as they're giant silicon butterflies with phoenix wings and psionic powers, and are thus the peak of evolution.
A Reychon that chooses to have a V operating system, may only choose to replicate under the full moon, be night-time soldiers (and only night-time soldiers), and only raise their own offspring with a V operating system. They're expected to be macho, hate sunlight, and speak in "Owos" and "Uwus" to intimidate people. However, not all V's follow their programming to a T, and that's fine, they're still V's if they fulfill the role that they have in the hive. Their pronouns are beep, boop, and beepboop.
A Reychon with a B operating system, on the other hand, can replicate whenever they see fit, have roles in a Reychon hive that sees them as hive care-takers, and encourage their children to have operating systems that go from A to U to C4. According to hive society, B's are supposed to be funny, be held to high standards of beauty, and be the voice of authority. B's are more respected than V's in hive society, but it doesn't mean that V's are not as important as B's. They address themselves as git, gud, and gitgud.
If a V Reychon lands in a hive without a moon, this means that they (beep) can no longer fulfill their purposes as V's in hive society. So they (beep) could reprogram themselves to another OS, and that V Reychon who sees themselves (beepboop) as being funny like a B, might change themselves to be a B. Likewise a B might change into a V so they (a gitgud) fight wars at night time, they (a git) have always felt like a beep their (gud) entire lives despite their programming. There even might be a Reychon who sees themselves as someone that's half V and half B, and create programming for an operating system known as VB. Or a V that acts like a B, but refuses to transition to a B, because they (beep) feel that Operating System Roles are just a social construct by the hive.
It all may be confusing for humans, but it makes sense to the Reychons.
