She'll accept a female but only if you have no male RPCs. Just dismiss your male RPCs long enough to get through the ceremony. I'm not sure if they will still be there after the encounter or if you will have to go back and retrieve them from their "homes" but you -can- complete the quest.
BTW, I haven't got the hint book myself but everything I've read on this and other forums by people who have purchased it has all been negative. Apprently there are numerous inaccuracies and important information left out of it so don't necessarily take it as the final authority on anything concerning the game.
