Chompzilla being one big one that I can see. This is a huge example of how we can't label the entire plethora of a character like chomper, when sources say that it is possible for both. And since it is possible for both, we just ignore gendered language altogether.

Like I've stated, there's a good reason why we should stick to gender neutral language, and it isn't just some SJW agenda thing. It's beneficial for wiki's and that's why many of them choose to do so. I feel we should do the same.

At the end of the day, we shouldn't be the ones to decide which is the main source to decide. Is the almanac really anymore reliable than notifications shown for the game when both are officially by Popcap? Heck dialogue in the game contradicts the genders stated. It isn't in our right to decide which is the almighty thing that decides these kinds of things, and we should just avoid the issue altogether with gender neutral language. So we only use gender neutral for ones that have a contradiction. Plus, transgender is a thing that exists, so that could be related to Chompzilla  being female. Being transgender doesn't change your actual gender, so you're related to as your original gender, unless you like beg people to reffer to you as your "new gender" or if they don't know you're trans


 * referred to

Actually no, you're referred to as what you look like if people dont know you're trans.

That, and, CDave may heve been told by Czilla what he/she/it wants to be called. Also, plants, in most cases, are both genders at once, which means (even more so) that we should obey the Almanac.
