Bloop 41f62b058c Stops they/them it/its gender choice from locking you into the "Female" physique (#95793)
## About The Pull Request

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/95111 introduced code that
threw me off a bit and felt like a bug.

If your physique is set to 'Use Gender', and you change your gender to
plural, for some reason it edits your physique pref to 'Female' each
time. Which leads to a disorienting user experience as you would expect
the physique to change back to male when clicking the male gender icon.
except it never will until you update your physique pref, which on a lot
of codebases you have to scroll down far to find and likely wouldn't see
changing in real time.

I don't see why it's necessary to touch the prefs when the
apply_to_human code already handles everything related to defaulting to
'female' physique.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Prefs which are located in separate panes shouldn't be rewriting
themselves automatically like this. Better UX
