There is no "real gender". The only time we've been confused was with Moonwalker, and that was handled with a proper vote. I don't know how you can be confused when it is obvious the gender of zombies.

Now there is the problem with plants... PLANTS ARE NOT JUST MALE AND FEMALE LIKE HUMANS. THEY DO NOT REPRODUCE LIKE HUMANS. Putting genders on a plant makes it confusing. Even if it says in the almanac, you do not just go around calling plants with a gender pronoun. A plant may have both male and female parts, yet you guys want to classify them as he or she?!! Now going along with this rule is wrong! Again, you're applying real life logic to chraracters that aren't like real life. These are plants that can talk and fight zombies. That logic doesn't apply here. And to be honest, I don't really see what's so confusing about giving them genders. the opposers all have clustered ideas about this topic, so I really don't think you should just refute my idea that was refuting another opposer's ideas, if that makes sense. Happy really like to connect to real life while you don't. How are we supposed to figure this out if you keep butting in with your logic that doesn't do anything to our discussion and basically refute another opposer? This whole topic is too complex because there are way too many ideas going around, and only two choices. With people like Compliens preferring one choice that isn't available, the oppose and support system becomes whack..

For simplicity's sake, I made this vote solely to make it easier on readers and editors. Readers are much likely to refer to plants as it rather than he or she and assume the zombies' gender based on voice clips and appearance. The original rule is simpler to readers so they don't question, say, why Peashooter is male instead of female. For editors, having one general rule apply to all plants, and one for all zombies, makes it easier to edit. Having to refer to descriptions is an unnecessary limitation. It is much easier to put it for Peashooter than look at the description and then put the appropriate pronoun. No need to go all real world and s***.

Really, the only problem is that people see it as not canon.
