Reconciled where gender is not fixed? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resigned

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reconciled' is the definition.
('resign' can be a synonym of 'reconcile')

'gender is not fixed?' is the wordplay.
'gender is' anagrams to 'RESIGNED'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resigned that I've seen before include "philosophical" , "Calmly submissive" , "Abdicated" , "without hope of change" , "Long-suffering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
