I'm not too sure how I feel about the male/female choice being added as an afterthought - eg, it wasn't planned from the beginning.
While I do really love the idea; being able to offer users that choice. I'm just worried it might create some needed diversions of script or content, which you haven't planned for, or thought of.
While small scenes - as
Avaron1974 pointed out - just because a scene works for a male MC, doesn't mean it works for a female MC.
There has to be more consideration put into that. Which is going to require extra work. Which will mean that either each update on a monthly basis will be lacking as much content per gender OR they will take longer in order to make an update feel "complete" per gender.
I'm not suggesting removing it. I'm just saying, give it more love. I really enjoy this game, would hate to see it go astray or lose its charm.
Best of luck,
recreation. Keep up the good work.
