From has been exploring gender ambiguity at least since Dark Souls. It’s nothing new.
You can already change everything about your appearance, sexual characteristics included, for free at any time in the hub area of Elden Ring too
Gywnevere, the big tiddy mommy that gives you the lord vessel, is male. DS2 had a coffin, guarded by trolls hilariously, that lets you swap gender at will. From has always been based.
I think you're confusing Gwynevere with Gwyndolin, a male raised as a female. I don't think there's any indication Gwynevere is male.
Some interpret Gwynevere to be as much a part of the illusion Gwyndolin created, ergo: what the player sees is Gwyndolin as Gwynevere. But this also says the sun also is Gwyndolin, etc.
The actual Gwynevere is long gone/dead at any rate.
Its Gwyndolin that is born male but raised female, because they were good with moon magic, which was seen as feminine.
