Why Were There Originally No Female Transformers?

Welcome to the 938th installment of Comic Book Legends Revealed, a column where we examine three comic book myths, rumors and legends and confirm or debunk them. In the first legend of an all-Transformers edition of Comic Book Legends Revealed, find out whether Marvel was responsible for there being no female Transformers.
As you may or may not know, essentially the whole background for what we know of today as the Transformers was developed by Marvel Comics, specifically Jim Shooter and Bob Budiansky, the former was the Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics at the time, and the latter was a Marvel editor who later became the writer on the Transformers comic book series for a number of years (Another Marvel editor, Denny O’Neil, was involved, as well, but his concepts mostly didn’t make the final cut, although one of two of his names did make it, including, according to Budiansky, the most famous Transformer of them all, Optimus Prime).
Okay, so how does that tie in with why there were no female Transformers when the series began? Was it Budiansky’s call?
