Neithan, you belittle your own points as well as I can, be being obtuse. We are not talking about trivial 'sterotypes', so that's wiped from the board. That first point is about your live background to make comments on these subjects in the manner of which you do. As you like to sound of with often condesending or grandiose points, you seem to be very very very very quiet about that particular topic. So everyone knows you are evasive - a negative personality trait.

No one is debating those points, so stop trying to sound like you are the 'righ' when you are actually just agreeing a point. It looks fractious. That point is about We (the readership) can not accurately chart/document the technology available to the IOM/Mechanicum et al as some is made up and most is either vague or totally missing the processing with only a outcome refered to e.g. An arm is broken, it then becomes working..not mention of the physio/wasa cast used/nanobots/slings etc etc. As GWS/BL don't get bogged down in these details. ***Arm breaking is not a ideal exaple as it is mentioned in some bits, it's just an example of Situation A eventually resulting in outcome D but not telling you about process B and C to get there***. so those other paragraphs are just blah blah blah.

Canon can and is changable/changed as needed. It also suffered from errors which is somewhat of a paradox as how can 'canon' be wrong, yet still canon...don't answer, we know how/why, it's rhetorical (we, unlike how you seem to view others, are capable of higher thinking). You yourself have highlighted this...unless you're wrong....hmm a curious line of thinking ;)

I'm talking about that before the Leviathan pattern Siege Dreadnought  was released, it didn't exist. Yet of course it did and yet is not mentioned in any previous source material....though surely it would have cropped up  if present?! The true answer is of course it can't exist in older canon as it didn't exist in the GWS thinking, but in the canon, it should have as the source covers that time period in detail...you following that? I know you seem to have trouble. Forgeworld and some other sources show it operating in both 30k and 40k so not really apples and oranges.

Mentioning Beastmen in 40k was an example of how canon changed and continues to change. Nothing more, nothing less and your ideas what it 'makes sense to seperate' fantasy and sci-fi doesn't wash at all as Ogryns = Orge (No seperated as still in both), Necrons = Tomb kings/Undead (Still present), Orks = Orks (still present, also not seperated) , Elder = Elves (Hmm, guess....) , Ratlings = Halflings (gone), Dwarfs = Squats (Gone)...So actually the idea of 'seperating' things isn't sensical other than in the sense of whims of the company.

Which all goes to show that it's just because they don't want them to, rather than anything else.

Regarding the SOB, they are not SM's and do not fully play the same combat roles/deployments and have the same regards so they are not a suitable alternative as it's not about having female troops of some kind, its's about having female SM - black carapace/ spit acid/ gene seed etc

I think you are being fractious and lacking a spirit of  investigative, critical thinking and looking at things outside the limitations of 'canon'.
