The Princess refers to the Hero/Player as male should we refer to the Hero/Player as male now?

I don't really see this being an issue at this point, but there really is no argument for the protagonist being anything other than a "he" (or "you" when referring to the literal player.) He is referred to as a he both in game and by the developers, and the argument of him not being a "he" because of being the Long Quiet doesn't make much sense when considering that, like the shifting mound, even as the Long Quiet he is still a sapient "person", and even after the reveal of the Princess as the Shifting Mound the Narrator/Creator still refers to her using she/her. I would even argue that having "Ambiguous Gender" listed as a trope for the Player isn't really correct.

I can't remember where the Princess refers to us as "he". Which route is it?
I really don't like this "but Shifting Mound doesn't actually destroy reality!". Because it's a lie. Narrator directly said that his world was at edge of oblivion. Shifing Mound said that if we get out "this universe dies, and a new one is born".
This misconception not only shows characters in wrong lights, but also complitley misses the point and theme of the entire game. The game isn't about "but there is actually no oblivion so it's alraigt!", it's about "there is oblivion, but is it a bad thing?".
