        maleColor = Colors.black45;
      }
    });
  }

        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
        children: [
          widget.gender == 'female'
              ? FaIcon(
                  FontAwesomeIcons.venus,
                  size: 40,

Try to refactor your selectGender function.. set the setState inside the If statement and not the if inside the setState.

void selectGender(gender) {
   if (gender == 'male') {
      setState(() {
       femaleColor = Colors.black45;
         maleColor = Colors.green;
      })
   } else {
      setState(() {
            femaleColor = Colors.green;
            maleColor = Colors.black45;
         )}
      }
}
