Never mind. I fixed this problem myself. I find it's easier to have the default option blank instead of using "Undisclosed," revising the HTML code accordingly, and placing the Gender option between the Location and Age field rather than by itself underneath the IM icons.

Revised code (X = field ID):

<if condition="$post['fieldX']"><div>Gender: $post[fieldX] <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/gender_$post[fieldX].gif" alt="$post[fieldX]" /></div></if>

HTML tag the code is placed after:

<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>

I hope these revisions help everybody else as much as they have helped me.
