Gender error

[UltimatBlitz]

First off, I'm new, hi. I play New Leaf a decent amount, but actually my mom has her own 3DS & plays her game more.
In my game I'm totally a girl. All the characters talk to me as a girl. I started with & can still only have girl hair styles. The way Kapp'n talks to me definitely makes it clear I'm a girl. I know my character is 100% female. But after one of my citizens, Gala, moved from my town to my mom's she will make reference to having my character, Alex, as a neighbor, but will say "he" instead of "she".
Does anyone know what causes this/how to stop it? Has this happened to anyone else?

I have had it happen too. I don't know that you can stop it though.

I don't think you can stop it. This is a sript error, and it happens in some other parts of the game, like one instance where snooty villagers can call uchi villagers "him" (or "he", I forget) even though uchi is a female personality type

Thanks you guys

That's weird O_O
Must have been a glitch

Maybe the "he/she" references wasn't coded on some of the villigers. I understand that a simple little thing like that can take a LOT of coding and maybe it got jumbled up a little bit when the game was being translated from Japanese to English.

Oh, classic gender errors. Gender errors, believe it or not, are surprisingly easy to make in real life too, so such a glitch is surprisingly...representative of real life.
I mean Alex is an androgynous name after all.

When I got Merengue from my sister's void, she kept referring to two of my sister's characters as a he. The names definitely sound like ordinary female ones. So yea.. it was weird.

She mainly said stuff like "Back when I was in my other town, I had a neighbor named Jen. He was such a new face" etc.

Maybe it's the default when villagers refer to their old mayor? Which would be unfortunate

Don't think that would be true. My sister never traded online with anyone/didn't get Merengue from someone else. She was from her camp and then got voided to me later.

Mallary once mentioned something on the lines of me ever using an open back dress during a trip to Able Sisters. As a male, it's quite unlikely.
