  You can change it using the Race Reroll token.

  I already said so... since gender is not a race, was saying to move it / add it to appearance

  I would have zero problem with them adding gender as a function of appearance change, since that's all it is.
  Male or female, the stats and abilities are the same.
  
  There have existed items in D&D that could change a character's gender, and I think that the game should make such a change a little more affordable. Maybe some group of RPers out there would be willing to go in on an appearance change for some character where a race change might be a little too expensive.
  
  
  Also, I would like to see them add changing place of origin, background (chosen according to place of origin), and patron diety to the race reroll tokens.
  
  I may have been fine with my Human Paladin being from Neverwinter, having the monastic tradition background (whatever it is specifically called), and following Torm, but if I change him to a Half-Orc I might think that Tempus is a better fit, and maybe want to move him out of Neverwinter, and if I make him an Elf or Half-Elf, I may think that Myth Drannor or the Dalelands might be more appropriate, and that Corellon might be a better choice of patrons.
  
  That I can not change the fluff associated with my character was a jarring detail that I discovered after paying for a race change.
  Now I find myself interested in another race change or two, but without being able to fill in the background details the way that I want for the changed characters, I can't see a reason why I shouldn't just reroll.
  
  It's only going to cost me time, but why spend that time playing what I do not like, even if playing higher level content, when I can spend it playing something that I like more?
  
  
  
  If they made the tokens, whether they be appearance or race change, a little more all-encompassing and maybe there would be less re-rolling and more money being spent.
  
  
  Unless they think that people will just pay max money to get the rerolled character to where the other one was... Buy the level-up tokens, buy a variety of purple companions and mounts, buy the best gear that they can to get started, etc.
