Rook's Gender Changed

Hi, I'm playing Veilguard on PC, and during my most recent play session I noticed NPCs referring to my Rook - who I had set as nonbinary with she/her pronouns and used Varric's mirror to flag as transgender, as "He/Him" or with "male" gendered language. I then looked in the mirror of transformation and saw that the game had indeed flagged her as "Man, He/Him" for gender information.

I briefly started a second save file with a male character, so I wonder if that possibly affected my main save file's gender information in some way? Otherwise I have no specific thing to point to for possible reproduction of this bug. I tried loading into the mirror of transformation and saving, and exiting without saving to see if it would reset back to what the gender should be, but that did not work.

    seems to be a widely experienced bug.  My Rook changed genders mid-game, also.  At this time, there is no way to change it back.  Also, no guarantee that any new characters won't be affected if you try rerolling.

    I find this bug rather frustrating because it breaks the immersion for me in conversations. I don't want to change the way my character looks from female to male just so the dialogue matches.  Ironically, this goes against what I feel Bioware is trying to say in parts of this game. The value of someone being able to be comfortable with who they are in their own skin and society supporting and encouraging them to be who they are. Now my female character is being told she is a man when she identifies as female... Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
