This topic came up at Nationals, and it was ruled by multiple judges and at least one Elder that Delegates are male, not genderless.  The REG states that:

Character’s Role and Gender
Each character has a role and most have a gender. Role and gender help identify the card’s
advantage or disadvantage to special abilities on other cards. Determine the role and gender by
looking at the card’s Scripture, card title or illustration. Character roles are a type of identifier. In
Redemption®, most characters, including demons and beasts, have a gender. Most demons are
considered male by default, but some demons may be identified as female, or in some cases are
genderless. Some other characters are considered genderless as well, see Gender.

Human Characters
In Redemption®, most humans are either male or female. Usually the picture makes it obvious
which a character is, but sometimes it is difficult to tell (sometimes there are a male and a female in
the picture, and you don’t know to which the name refers). In this case, use the passage as the
guide.

Genderless Characters
There are only a few Characters in the game that do not give clues as to gender, and are thus
treated as genderless. They are:
(Hero): Priests of Christ (P)
(Evil): Angry Mob (Ap), Bear (DL), Bear (DU), Complainers (FF), Doubt (Pi), Frog Demons (L),
Frog Demons (UL), Frog Demons (P), Frog Demons (Wa), Gibeonite Delegates (RA2),
Idolaters (H), Madness (Pi), The Bear (RA), and The Jeering Youths (RA)

I understand ruling them either way from a scriptural standpoint, but if we are going to have this as the rule going forward, the REG will need to be updated.  This thread is mainly to let people know about the discussion regarding a change to what was published in the REG, since it does affect quite a few card combinations
