> "If BTP does not have it, then why do we?"

Very weak argument. There's so many things wrong with that statement that I can't even begin to explain. CaT's comment basically discussed that.

> "It's baffling to see that a wiki with that many restrictions actually doesn't care about something like that, and to see that a wiki with more "freedom" than its counterpart restricts something that its counterpart allowed."

Uh...ok? The way you worded freedom in quotes puts me off a bit here. I really don't know why you're so passionate about this topic.

> "Or was it because none of the administrators actually cared enough to enforce it?"

Pretty sure Ulti mentioned this in the minor changes thread. We do care, it was just a minor thing that was neglected to be enforced. Just because we don't enforce one thing does not mean we're careless and whatnot. Slow your roll.

Overall, my verdict is to  because, like others have said, the user is the one who has a gender, the alien does not. So therefore the alien matches what gender their user is.
