Maybe they should offer an expensive, inconvenient way of changing gender.
Ah, a new monetization technique :-)
Well, not really new. A lot of MMORGS will allow extensive plastic surgery for your character, often once for free and then for a fee.
An interesting side-note is that some (typically Asian) games have gender-locked classes. There is usually some whining about it, but not that much.
I can imagine the whining, though, if there were gender choice but your account was locked to a random class.
I think the whining would be only moderate because most people will say WTF, wonder at the stupidity of the devs, and happily go play something else X-)
Such as creating new Steam accounts and buying the game repeatedly, until you get the desired outcome?
Oh, maybe this was the strategy from the beginning.
