"What is he?"

The words spill out of your mouth faster than you expected, and you can't help but look to the side in embarrassment. The guide, thankfully, doesn't comment on your reaction and answers your question robotically: "You saw the first android approved for consumer use, which will be manufactured as either male or female according to the consumer's preferences. Therefore, each android is handcrafted for the consumer." You're amazed that technology has come this far already and that you even have the honor of seeing it first-hand. Moreover, as a well-known journalist, you seem to gain access to opportunities others don't in exchange for good press. Still, your reputation betrays you in current media due to an unfavorable article circulating about your sexual tendencies and your unprecedented climb to unconventional fame. You wonder if your jealous ex-partner is the source of the article. "The rich consumer, I assume?" Your response is delicately calculated, and you proceed to busy yourself with the voice recorder in your pocket. You silently praise yourself for remembering to bring the device with you this morning and turn it on. An audible "click" sounds throughout the room, and the guide's face contorts. "I apologize, but the courtesy does not extend to yourself. Please do not record this conversation."
