Also, that sort of logic is myopic, because if the feature increases revenue on net - and they would not make the decision of adding new races if they did not consider it to be a potential net benefit - it essentially creates resources for other things... provided SE actually puts it back into the game. How much other "content" that they add, especially the kind which ends up seeing minimal use, can claim to do this?

Quite frankly, I also don't care for your claim that it's "whining". We're paying consumers asking for a feature to be added. Don't like it? Fine, whatever, but that does not make it "whining".
They did add the races that would produce the best increase, what is being asked would be minimal increase at best as most of those complaining won't likely touch either of the unreleased genders should they ever come out. If anything there could be a loss as the sacrifice in content lost would cause harm counterbalancing any good adding the two genders would bring. Just look at the ones added in 2.0. There were large amount of people complaining, but most of those complainers didn't swap to those added genders. You can see this by the race/gender populations. Just like every announcement there will be trolls who love to bash something, anything, it just so happens that this time it is genderlocks.
As for being fine with redirecting resources to things you want, duh of course you would want that. What you are ignoring is what EVERYBODY ELSE has to give up for you to get what you want.
I do consider it whining the moment people start slandering the devs making claims they are "lazy", "sexist", and "homophobic" which is down right rude and disrespectful. (I'm saying this as somebody who is LGBT myself) Yoshi and the devs have been very supportive of our community even expressing how happy he is for the Pride community events people hold in game. People are using this because they are crying over not getting the toy they wanted, and want to do anything they can to vilify the ones who didn't make the toy to their specific demands. It becomes nothing more than a temper tantrum.
