Avatar Is The Wrong Gender

I just purchased MetaQuest 3 and created a new account.  I am a male and identify as a male.  While I was setting up my avatar, I saw an option in the bottoms area for fishnet leggings that were very feminine.  So I clicked on that just for a laugh and then proceeded to look for the proper attire that suited me.  That was a mistake because now the as near as I can guess, the machine learning of Meta has pegged me as being transgender and effeminate.  I say this because no matter what shirt I put on and turn sideways in the mirror, I am sporting a double D breast.  I have looked all over in my profile to make sure I didn't accidentally select female during the account setup but cannot find the option to change this embarrassing avatar.  I have been reading other posts about this problem and cannot find the solution. How can I fix this issue?

Hey there, @TOF_REAT. We have gotten a few laughs ourselves at some of the crazy combinations available. We understand how important it can be to identify how you want, especially in VR! We would love to provide some information for you.

This should be a pretty easy fix on your part, at this time, we do not have a gender selection option in the avatar editor, only body shapes. You can change this body shape to what ever you want, this includes male presenting options you may be looking for. Please let us know if this information helps! If not, we would love to review whatever we can.
