        usr.overlays += 'shortbrown.dmi'
        var/hairon = 'shortbrown.dmi'
        usr.overlays -= usr.hair
        usr.hair= hairon

     else
        usr.overlays += 'shortbrown.dmi'
        var/hairon = 'shortbrown.dmi'
        usr.overlays -= usr.hair
        usr.hair= hairon

Of course you would need to make a var for males.

Personally, when faced with visual customization I believe you should only show what's available to their specific choices. So, if you're going to be displaying this at login, the simplest way to keep females from picking male features is to not display it to them.

id think you'd have to have that hidden, if that was stricktly for males.

like set
if(src.female)
   set hidden=1
   return


????

hopefully that will help you

Also, please use the built-in variable for the sex of the character known as gender.. that way, you can use the text macros, such as \hiself to show hiself/herself (like in the text "He killed himself."), which refers to the object's gender :)

        var/charactername = input("Hello, Pick a name for your character, something you wish for other islanders to call you in the game.","Character Name?")
        switch(input("Below pick one of the following backgrounds you wish for your character to be. It determines what skills you get in the game.","Character Background?") in list("male (white)","female (white)"))

            if ("male (white)")
                character = new /mob/You/malew()
            

            if ("female (white)")
                character = new /mob/You/femalew()
