We did with the last one they also made a post to see the entries but I haven’t read anything about that yet

That's kinda why its at an angle so you get a split on both the front left and back right. It's not a common way of doing it but it'd get the job done, and once the hair gets picked I'm certain they'll ask you for more information.

While I can't be certain, I'd like to think the Type A and Type B labels aren't about "gender" per se, but about the styles. My guess is, unlike the last contest, these hairstyles will be unisex. But then again, a good portion of the runners up were made unisex too, so what do I know. People will get butt hurt over anything nowadays.

Then why have any "type" at all? Just put a generic, featureless head up and let people overlay whatever they need to add for the hairstyle to make sense, rather than include the upper chests from each body (decidedly male and female body, respectively).
Pretty sure they just didn't want to offend people who get offended by specific gender labels.

Because upper chests are relevant for longer hairs to lay on said chests potentially.

Or it could just be a generic template label without giving them descriptive names.

We still have the characters labelled male and female in the game itself.

Edit to add: For comparison (at least from memory) the weapon design contest similarly used "template A/B/C" rather than descriptive template names for weapons with multiple model types, even where the types had obvious descriptions, like monk having a choice of standard weapons or wearable gloves.
