Gender locked race?

[jameseoakes]

The main issue is that when asked about male Viera, Yoshi P said to look at the lore that was in the game.
SE might ignore the lore in some cases, but in others they don't, it's pretty hit and miss, but here we have an indication that the lore is being followed.

But why write the lore in that way to begin with?

Well, for Miqote and Viera, those are just carry overs from 11 and 12 respectively. That's how the races worked in those games.
