Oh boy, I bet you’re sick of this sort of question but it needs to be done (by Greg not by some random dude passing by, bye now, this question is for Greg only )
Why do Matoran have genders if they can’t have sex? Is gender just a concept?

This has been asked and answered before.
I had always wondered, that since gender in the MU is not based on physical traits (at least for Toa and Matoran), and for the most part male and female Toa don’t have obvious differences in body shape, why do they have genders at all? If the beings in the MU were never intended to be sentient, then it doesn’t make much sense for the inhabitants to have a gender, particularly when that gender is completely in their heads and has no relation to pre-determined physical traits. Arguably, the biggest physical traits between Toa and Matoran would be their elements.
I’ve just always found that odd, especially with the story of Orde, where at least one Great Being deliberately made other Toa of Psionics afterward female, a trait that only applies in their heads, which weren’t supposed to complex…
