there's a lot who've already discussed the genderbent issue, but this one takes the cake. Try to read it if you have time: https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/4nh2mq/servant_analysis_design_sanzang_fashi_caster/

TL;DR the new Servant is called Sanzang Fashi instead of Xuan Zang, the former is related to a fictional character while the latter is a real life historical figure. As such, the former is used where it was portrayed by most medias to be female, and basically DW is joining the bandwagon (since they're basing it on a fictional character rather than the real life historical figure, they're portraying it how they think it'll cause more fan to look forward-slash-spend money on).
