Letting the reader choose their gender and customize their character?

Hey, I’m writing a new story and would like the reader choose their character’s gender and customize them. I want a scene to happen before they get to customize them first, but it’s not remembering their choice of gender in the scene. They both(female and male avatar) pop up in the screen, and I only want the choice of gender to pop up!
Help?
Here’s my script:
INT. BLACK - DAY
label choose_gender

NARRATOR
Would you like to play as a male or female?
choice (GENDER)
“Male.”{
NARRATOR
Are you sure you’d like to play as a male?
choice
“Yes!”{
NARRATOR
Okay, thanks!
} “No, go back!”{
goto choose_gender
}
}
“Female.”{
NARRATOR
Are you sure you’d like to play as a female?
choice
“Yes!”{
NARRATOR
Okay, thanks!
} “No, go back!”{
goto choose_gender
}
}
This is the scene before customization:

if (GENDER “Female.”){
goto beginning_female
}
elif (GENDER “Male.”){
goto beginning_male
}
label beginning_female
INT. JUVIE WELLES BEDROOM V2 - DAY
@SELENA stands screen center and SELENA faces right
SELENA (flirt_shy)
(Today’s the day where I may find true love!)
SELENA (think_rubchin)
(I feel…)
choice (EMOTION)
“Excited!”{
SELENA (flirt_liftchin_receive_shy)
(…Excited!)
SELENA (talk_flirt_coy)
I’ve waited so long for this day!
}
“Nervous.”{
SELENA (idle_awkward_scratch_loop)
(…Nervous.)
SELENA (talk_sad_exhausted)
I hope all goes well.
@SELENA is deepbreath
}
label beginning_male
INT. JUVIE WELLES BEDROOM V2 - DAY
@EMMET stands screen center and EMMET faces right
EMMET (flirt_shy)
(Today’s the day where I may find true love!)
EMMET (think_rubchin)
(I feel…)
choice (EMOTION)
“Excited!”{
EMMET (flirt_liftchin_receive_shy)
(…Excited!)
EMMET (talk_flirt_coy)
I’ve waited so long for this day!
}
“Nervous.”{
EMMET (idle_awkward_scratch_loop)
(…Nervous.)
EMMET (talk_sad_exhausted)
I hope all goes well.
@EMMET is deepbreath
}
if (GENDER “Female.”){
goto talk_fitfem
}
elif (GENDER “Male.”){
goto talk_fitmale
}
label talk_fitfem
SELENA (talk_shrug_neutral)
Guess I should change now.

label talk_fitmale
EMMET (talk_shrug_neutral)
Guess I should change now.
Should I be using the gains or?

I think it has to be
if (GENDER is “Female.”){
goto beginning_female
}
elif (GENDER is “Male.”){
goto beginning_male
}

So you’re missing the is
