This has no impact on the vocaloid itself and was previously brought up by Yamaha themselves in regards to VY2. Iroha is female Vocaloid, but her voice is not.

The evidence to back up why the classification is a important subject was previded by me previously, as male and females do not share the same vocal range and once a voicebox has swelled up and grown, it cannot be reversed. The result is male and female vocals have different ranges and limitations and this will pass over to the raw vocal of every Vocaloid since Vocaloid is based on the human voice. Beyond this, people edit the voice to as they please and thier still buying the Vocaloid "Iroha" as a female voice.

It amounts to us, just that as I said,, technicalities for our sakes... People will use our information to make judgements or learn about vocaloids, so you have to be careful with the technilicaties for this reason. Its sort of why you have to mention details such as how accents impact a vocaloid. The stuff won't change much, but its all part of telling someone about Vocaloid itself. :-/
