Hi John,
In an other heathed and frank
thread on this forum on this subject the KittyCatS owners did let us know there will come a solution for this soon.
I have the feeling this is worth waiting for and yes I recognise your frustration

EDIT
I corrected the link to the correct topic in which KittyCatS told us a future update will make perfectly sense why so far gender on the box isn't povided.
