You probably have a typo in the icon_state.

hmmmmm.... ok so i need to redo the icon?

Unless you left the icon blank, no. You need to make sure you programmed the icon_state the same as what you set the icon_state to on the icon. So if you have the icon set to "Player" Make sure you put icon_state="Player" or else it won't show the icon.
 mob
    icon='Player.dmi'
    icon_state="Player"

Something like that.

Not really much of a programmer myself, but you might be able to check http://www.byond.com/ forum/?post=1099637&hl=set%20gender#comment3778071 it shows there how to make a Login system with gender selection.

Set it in the login function. This will change the icon state to male_normal for males, female_normal for ladies, or nuter_normal for not set.

mob/Login()
   ..() //call the base login.
   src.icon_state = "[src.gender]_normal"
