According to that site...
Ruiner is... Female
Nestor is... Male...
The gender bending just don't stop!!! :O

Edit: Also
When Tobberoth is making a point he is male. When he is giving details about his experiences he is female.
So this system more likely displays the mood of the author (or piece of writing) rather than the author's sex.
Unless...

I am overwhelmingly male. Fear my chest hair.
Obviously nestor dresses in drag and Tobberoth is a hermaphrodite.
