Yeah--precicely. I've linked an image of a warforged before, but here's a more in-depth summary of what they are.
Warforged are, as stated, "fantasy robots" created to fight in the Last War, a hundred-year-long conflict among the major nations of the Eberron setting. When the war finally ended (at massive cost), the warforged were discontinued and freed, but they're not very well-liked. There are numerous people who protest their existance; the war's over, they say, we don't need the weapons.
There is, interestingly enough, a number of warforged who are trying to become more like living creatures. The Reforged prestiege class allows a warforged to become a fully living creature, for instance, and the warforged tyrant the Lord of Blades is making his own modified warforged. It's not unlikely that there are at least some attempting to get genders.
Some images:

I remember seeing a fan-made image of a female warforged somewhere... I'll pop in if I find it.
