No apology is needed. I checked and femboy cat is happy with any pronouns.
The OP is happy with feminine or neutral pronouns.

Short answer: OP did not put a game on the internet, they put a poorly
coded CTF sandbox that does no input verification (doesn’t check referrers,
doesn’t look at the http user-agent, doesn’t require login, doesn’t check
cookies, doesn’t have a nonce in the form that’s checked) and invites
people to gamify it, and even now seems not to understand the problem and
why this is an issue.  A few bored developers who understand HTTP and HTML
forms way better than OP found it, and OP is inviting more people to do the
same things rather than fixing his “game”.

One important edit to this: I did not mean to misgender or mispronoun, I
meant to use more neutral terms and missed the possesive at the end.  If I
did, I apologize.
