Adventure Time Munchkin: BMO's gender ability

[PreZZ PreZZ]

In Adventure Time munchkin, BMO's ability reads something like: "You recieve a +2 combat bonus against monsters level 10 or below. Also, BMO ignores all gender related effects (because I don't know)"

There are 3 ways that I could interpret this:
1) BMO counts as male and female
2) BMO counts as neither male nor female
3) BMO counts as male and female when it benefits the player and, BMO counts as neither male nor female when it benefits the player

Take two cases: the broad sword (if you're combining sets) and the Ice King.

Under the first and third interpretation, BMO would be able to equip the broad sword. Under the second interpretation, he would not.

The Ice King's bad stuff says that males lose a level (I think) and females skip their next turn.
Under the first inerpretatin, BMO would suffer both of the effects of the bad stuff. Under the second and third interpretation, he would suffer neither of the effects of the bad stuff

So, in Adventure Time Munchkin, how does BMO's ability work?
