Cause, there ain\'t no ladies as gods, Axsyrus.
If the official god Talaad was cast as a male, and the only female god got de-feminized, I think it was all written by a guy who thought: Hmm, we don\'t need no chicks, a guy god is good enough. What woman would ever write that Laanx lost her femininity to become a guy (or sexless, or whatever the guy who wrote that meant)? Impossible. All women in Planeshift were cast as second class citizens by this. It doesn\'t mean that the female players of the game will accept the limitations that this less-than status suggests.
The official authors could have made some of the races to have females as the physically stronger-looking ones, too. But no, same old same old. Most races follow the male sexist guideline that women should be less imposing than males.
Put this all together and you see a passive forum of male chauvanism at work in the
creation of the Planeshift universe. This does not mean, however, that ladies won\'t rule the place side by side with men...or maybe rule above them. They are used to ignoring road blocks like these. I bet they won\'t neuter Talaad should they become the ruling \"gender\" of Planeshift, though. They will make their own goddesses instead. Who would want a used Talaad anyway?
