FYI the real manual has no such BS -- happened to have the box in easy reach (don't ask). "Alignment - describes your character's outlook toward the world, and his general ethical status. The possibilities are GOOD, NEUTRAL, or EVIL." ...
There's not a hint of a whisper of caring whether you conceive of your characters as male, female, or two-dimensional bags of hitpoints and statistics.
Never miss an opportunity to point out that males never got a pronoun of their own -- 'he' means anyone, but 'she' only means females -- and so the gender pronoun people are the real sexists.
