All these talks of "anomalies" and "exceptions" concern gender-crossing regenerations over a single individual's life.

It does not claim that changing gender on a regeneration is anomalous among Time Lords, it means that an individual Time Lord's gender during his one or two gender-crossing regeneration will be considered anomalous to his overall self.

And for that we have direct in-universe evidence, in, again, General Kenossium's comments post-regenerations in Hell Bent: "back to normal, am I?". If Kenossium considers that she has a "normal" gender (namely, female), it follows that her one male incarnation was abnormal — an exception that has no bearing on the fact that Kenossium sees him/herself as female in the absolute.

But for the third time, this is only half of the argument, and even if you disagree with this part (though I think it's a pretty evident reading of the in-universe data), my above remarks concerning the fact that regardless of whether Time Lords have one baseline gender and a few anomalies, or just change randomly across regenerations, the fact is that no sources use "they" to refer to gender-crossing Time Lords — they just go back and forth between "he" and "she" as needed.
