Reconciled where gender is not fixed? (8)
I believe the answer is:
resigned
'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" .)
