My Rook’s gender changed.

I’m at level 10 or so and noticed in cutscenes that characters started referring to my character as him, boy, etc. I went to the Mirror and checked, and sure enough my Rook was now identified as a man, he/him. The only thing I can think of is that I made a new character that was he/him and then loaded the save for my previously female character. I also did not engage with the transgender options in the hand held mirror. Is there any way to change my Rook’s gender and pronouns back?

    Same problem.  I wanted to try and make one of my male OCs in the CC because I just like playing in CC's.  I made a new save for him.  But when I opened up my actual save file, my female Rook - who was recognized female for all of yesterday - was now identified as male and using he/him pronouns.  The game has previously changed my hair style/color without my input so I said okay, whatever, went to fix it - can't.  Neither the Mirror in the Infirmary nor Varric's mirror can change it (and the latter isn't clickable anymore at all.)

    Additionally, I also noticed that my keybindings reset themselves overnight.  So it's definitely seeming like a game-wide bug of some sort.  I was able to load an earlier save that has the correct gender/pronouns (~30 min lost) so not a huge loss, but still.  Weird bug.  I really hope it doesn't happen again tomorrow.

      Earlier saves have it still? Good to know. I’ll check that. I’ll probably lose a couple hours, but better than restarting!

    Having the same problem, my female OC just became male. Unfortunately, I’m trying to save memory space so I don’t have anything older than from 10 minutes ago. The oldest save I have still has this issue.
