I like the idea of using the authors gender. To be politically correct for politically correct's sake is annoying. If you are a female and want to write an RPG and use the word "she" go right ahead. If you are a guy who only wants to use the word "HE" go right ahead. If you don't like what the other person is doing (ie a female complaining about the fact that the male is using the word he) simply write your own book. Problem solved.
