It doesn't really matter that we don't play as multiple tenno or that we don't magically gender change when we switch frames. In fact, I don't think the gender of the frame matters much at all.

I'm thinking that tenno, instead of wearing the suits and simply changing out of one and into another, inhabit the warframes. It could be that this is the true power of the tenno, and that the other powers all come exclusively from the warframes themselves and are only fueled by the energy of the Tenno. If this were the case, then the gender of each frame would be merely cosmetic anyway.

This would explain why we haven't seen Alad V (or anyone else) personally hijack a warframe, even though he's gotten his hands on quite a few. Instead, he only remote-controls them. Why? Maybe because he cannot possibly put one on himself. It could be that there isn't actually any space for a body to fit within a warframe.

I think this could also help explain why the Lotus grew so attached to us and came to see us as children. The sentients seemed to have the ability to assimilate technology somehow. The power to inhabit a warframe is very similar to this.

Besides, in case you haven't noticed, this game is relatively lacking in customization, for an MMO. As another Lone Tenno already said, I wouldn't expect them to waste time on adding in multiple genders for every frame at this point, or ever.
