  You need to state which story format you are using, as answers can be different for each one.
  
  The simple answer is Yes.

  There are a number of things you don't state in your original question:
  
  1. Can Gender be changed only once or multiple times:
  
  1a. If only once then you could do something like the following:

  Gender: [Male]<gender|
  (click-replace: ?gender)[(either: "Female", "Neuter")]
  

  
  1b. If multiple times, then you are going to need to re-attach the (click-replace:) after each selection.
  Add the following to the passage you want the question to appear:

  Gender: [Male]<gender|
  (click-replace: ?gender)[(display: "Random Genders")]
  

  ... and add the following to a new passage named Random Genders:

  (either: "Female", "Neuter", "Male")(click-replace: ?gender)[(display: "Random Genders")]
  

  
  2. Are you using a $variable to track the current Gender and if so should that $variable be updated with the new Gender:

  (set: $gender to "Male")
  
  Gender: [$gender]<gender|
  (click-replace: ?gender)[(set: $gender to (either: "Female", "Neuter"))(print: $gender)]
