And you still cannot be sure of my sex - of the eleven people attending my local GA group, five are women.

Here is another way of looking at it. You chose box #7 at random. However, if you were wrong (which you almost certainly were), the gameshow host chose box #8 knowing that it was right. So box #8 is almost certainly right.

AC, I say "yes". Always switch your one in twenty-five to your fifty-fifty choice.
EXCEPT:
Ask yourself what are the odds of the right box being directly on either side of your #7 ? One in twelve, right? Pretty high odds so your boxmaster might (if he thinks you are bright) try to trick you into a switch from your #7 by placing a man's box next to the woman's number. [Maybe that's what you said but I am confused by your math]
And Wofahulic, you are right, the beautiful woman with a flaw is Hillary Clinton who insisted she be called "beautiful" and lied when she said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. Nice trick. Hillary Rodam Clinton was born in 1947 and Sir Edmund climbed Everest in 1953. Which brings us to our Hilary.
Either me, or Rubarb, is trying to find his or her sex nitch.
Ok, Rube, answer this question: Are you a woman?
You show me yours and I'll show you mine.

With a small heart-shaped slice of tomato*.
It called its creation
"The Love Generation",
And served it with sparkling rosato.
*British pronunciation.

At fashions that failed to disclose.
She elected to dress
In sheer nothingness,
Despite the fact bits of her froze.
