Gender locked race?

[Fland]

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.

Doesn't mean gender-locking tho. He could simply meant that we can check the lore to see if male viera exists, which the lore did say.
From what I remember, the interviewer asked about how male viera's gonna appear, and he said to check the lore.
