Exactly!
Some of us likes to play a totally fantasy character, compltely unlike how they are in RL - while others prefer to play a buffed version of themselves.
I think it's unfair to critisize for either preference.
If they can make KotOR III without determining gender on neither Revan nor the Exile, that would be great. But the more games and background story, the more variables they'll have to take into account.
For KotOR II, there were 4 possibilities:
Revan Male, LS
Revan Male, DS
Revan Female, LS
Revan Female, DS
But for KotOR III, there will be 16 possibilities to take into account... which will make it much more complicated. At some point, they will have to either kill/forget some of the PCs - or simply determine a set gender. It would be preferable if they do not go for the latter option (assuming that the "he" they currently use is indeed meant to be gender neutral).
