Well, if you want to get really picky, the gender of the word 'princess'
is FEMININE, not FEMALE. 'Female' is a biological term.

So much for irrelevant pedantry.

As for using the word 'gender' to refer to a person, I assumed that
the purpose was to avoid a rather obvious pun, which would distract
from the writer's point.
