There are a lot of people in the gaming community that contribute to this problem, and it's not going to be easy to change it since so many folks don't want it to change (also, you can't force change even if it's "for their own good" they still are free to choose how to live) If anything, I think you should focus on the positives of being part of the gaming community or share how experiences in games have positively affected your life, that sort of thing is relatable regardless of gender, and I think being positive and enthusiastic about the games themselves will help dissolve the gender boundary. The fact that "female gamer" is the default term is a huge red flag signifying that there's discrimination. You could say something like "I'm not a female gamer I'm just a gamer" stressing that gaming is just as important in your lifestyle as it is in anyone else's
