Shepard's sex
So why in character creation do they ask if Shepard is Male or female if it never comes up again?

It makes a a difference in the end of Ryder Family Secrets, but it is basically a pronoun difference, in other words, pointless.

Shepard is always referred to as Shepard here, never he or she. So it really wasn’t needed.

In the last memory fragment, when the benefactor talks about Shepard, she uses "he", regardless of whether you said Shepard was a male or a female (tested with both), same thing with the subtitles. I assume it's an oversight.
Edit: Actually it seems that in English it doesn't change anything, however it does in French, the translation is not 100% accurate, and there a "il" regardless of Shepard's sex.

They don't care about pronouns.

Yep, all of once, purely as a pronoun lol. It's like they forgot about it until the very end. "So... remember that thing we had in the character creation about shepard's gender? Were we going to do anything with that?"
Maybe it'll come to a future installment or dlc.
My logical guess would be that one of the planned DLCs should feature Shep's gender(maybe a voice recording of some kind played either by male or female shep). Since you cant go back and create another character history at the point of a DLC they did it at the start of the game. Having said that I wont be surprised if Bioware botched it up again... Seems like a trend....

My guess/hope it's a DLC where the Nexus finally makes QEC contact with the Milkyway (which is mentioned in one of the HNS messages) and we get confirmation on the fate of the milkyway.
