Or some of the dragons are trans?

I almost pitched the 'half the dragon population is trans' idea in this entry and then thought it might feel like I was trying to pretend this game's sexist aspects are progressive when I highly doubt that's what the developers had in mind.

I have no idea what they did have in mind, come to think of it. This was in the days when very few women worked in gaming and videogame voice acting was a bit of an afterthought, so maybe the dragons in the original were just voiced by whoever happened to be in the office?

...okay, I just checked and apparently a large number of the dragons in the original were voiced by Clancy Brown, also known for playing Hank in Detroit: Become Human and, more famously, Mr Krabs in SpongeBob SquarePants. I wasn't expecting this.
