That has more to do with TOR putting Revan and Exile in its story, I think. Revan I believe became a lightsider that married and had kids with Bastila, then Sith shit happened and he was put into stasis until TOR time. Don't know how they canonized Exile other than female.
I actually just noticed this last week when I was looking up some KOTOR lore (according to the wiki the PC from KOTOR 2 is canonically female).

You mean it was because of that mmo? I tried that out but I never got that far into it.
I’m pretty sure the exile was canonically made female years before the mmo. I think in a comic book they made her a human female and gave her a name
Meetra Surik. It was the Revan novel.
