Gender locked race?

[Rokke]

I honestly would not want a sexy lion man. Someone posted those fanarts of dreamboat Scar from the Lion King and I was appreciative of the look, but I wouldn't want to have just another human-like race except with a mane. I'm with the Byakko-looking hopefuls camp.

Im curious as to what people see particularly beastly about byakko? Of the 4 lords he's my favorite because sexy naked anime man boss fight feat. heavy bass ...but he's got a human face, a human body, human limbs, human shaped hands with claws, etc. The only non human bits on him are the digitigrade feet, long kitty tail, and tiger arm, and the last one is probably not on the menu.
