He is, but it's probably more accurate to say it just never occurred to him because it's not something he's experienced, felt, or imagined for himself. With no emotional connection or understanding of the subject, why would he include it?

It's just weird to write a book about body swapping and never think about gender. It's not like there's no precedent! The recent Jumanji films are even more willing to engage here than Altered Carbon is.

I mean, it is, except for the fact that it's created by cisgendered people for a cisgendered audience. Trans people simply aren't a demo outside of queer bookshops. I hate this. It sounds like I'm apologizing for him, and I'm really not.

Yeah so I don't think the thing you hear online "If you've ever thought about what it might be like to be the other gender, you're trans" is true, but to the extent it's true it's a bad thing, it's about cultural policing against the idea of transness

It's that policing that leads to the absurdity of someone creating a whole-ass cyberpunk future built around the idea of mutable and fluid identities and downloading the mind into an infinite variety of bodies and being like "But I'm not a pervert so I didn't put pervert shit in"
