As noted above, it is possible to toggle any/all male NPCs to female. Toggling the other direction would a) be a massive amount of work (the initial addition of the M->F toggle was about 60k added words + a bunch of tracking down pronouns, and that was about a year ago. Extrapolating with some napkin math says Antlers alone would be at least 70-100k words (likely more since she CAN'T just be a pronoun flip both on personality and because I am quite certain that Mr. Antlers without a penis would... not fill audience desires. pun intended), plus art, and while she's the largest character by a significant margin... #2 and #3 are... Alex and Trapper) and b) flipping Alex feels... wrong/male-Alex would fit a pretty different role, so would more likely be an entirely new character.What's the over under on us every getting a)built in gender filters to reduce the rates of events that involve one sex or another or b) a mod that does a rewrite of the characters to make them either all one or all the other? I love the game as it is, really - but a lot of it is very dependent on being the bi-est bisexual to ever bisexual. My experience is mostly clicking through the female content quickly to get to the dude stuff, but I imagine a lot of the straight guys on here are having to do the same thing when it comes to all of the guy content - I'm just wondering how feasible this would be. I'd do it myself once the game is complete, if I can figure out how the system works.
EDIT: I'm aware that we're unlikely to ever get fully, endorsed toggles for the main characters - but I'd at least like a way to, say, reduce the chances that Ms. Antlers wants sexual tasks from my character. Or workarounds to progress down further fetish paths that could forgo needing to engage with female characters - like needing to be used as a urinal by Ms. Antlers first before being able to work in the executive restroom, for instance.
In an ideal world, sure, it'd be nice to have every character be gender and genitals toggleable, but in this world... that's not likely to happen without a large pile of money showing up on our desk because... a) it's a massive quantity of work, b) most of that work is tedious (writing a scene variant is much less interesting than moving forward) c) while i'm bi, I'm definitely more female-attracted/accustomed to writing such and d) our current priority is to get the game finished, not repeatedly re-hash old content.
As to your more narrow concern, if you point out specific scenes I may consider an option to avoid/bypass (fetish flags depending) but excising all MC+Female content is not really practical without it turning into the massive effort noted above... because the game itself is ginormous (currently slightly more than roughly twice the complete surviving works of shakespear... plus the bible).
