If you wish to be pedantic then your oversimplification would only make it worse. The root of the word is disputed and its use varies greatly across the millenia. Using it gender neutrally is incredibly niche and has not been a common thing for a good 400 years if not more by the time J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings. In Standard English is is not treated as a gender neutral term.
Not that I consider pedantics relevant to such an obvious joke.

^I should think Tolkien, a Professor of English Language and Literature and an ardent philologist, knew perfectly well the proper usages of his vocabulary. :|
Also popular modern folklore usage does not equate actual meaning because most modern peeps derive their ideas about such from fucking Disney cartoons and similarly authoritative sources. (You may note at least one of the illustrative quotes at M-W blithely regurgitates the usual erroneous commonplace about the role of the Inquisition...)

Are people really debating if 'witch' has gender-neutral connotation in modern English when it has a formally masculine counterpart?
That's what 'witcher' is, by the way.

^^That's a translated Slavic loanword that only has any currency owing to a certain recently popular fantasy franchise ya know. And I'll be mighty surprised if that isn't exactly what 99% of English-speakers think of when they hear the word, presuming they recognise it at all.
You're thinking of warlock - which doesn't really see much use outside Dungeons & Dragons which likes digging up more obscure words to use in classnames and whatnots (see also the sharp distinction it draws between the factually interchangeable terms "wizard" and "sorcerer").

I still have no idea which characters they're supposed to be. The one on the right has Saurons shoulder and helmet spikes, but the black robes and sword are more nazghul. The one on the left has a similar eye covering as the mouth of sauron, but the mouth didn't wear armour.
Both match the style of the movies perfectly, but neither of them seems to match any one character very well.

^Maybe the one on the right is Sauron, but the artist swapped out the armor for robes to make her softer/more feminine? I guess that they could have swapped out the mace for the sword for the same reason.

^^he's lost several corporeal forms in the past and most recently short enough time ago that going by previous record there's no way he's yet been able to form a new one, all the more so as nontrivial portion of his power is tied up in the Ring which has been AWOL for a characteristically arbitrarily-large Tolkienian amount of time. (That lad sure liked himself some fairly comical timeframes.) While it's been a long time since I read the books I'm pretty certain it's a major plot point that basically the whole and only reason he's still around at all anymore is the continued existence of the One Ring being an anchor to his spirit - which duly promptly disintegrates when the McGuffin goes kaputt.

^At one point, Gollum says that "He has only four [fingers] on the Black Hand," which would be a weird thing to point out even metaphorically if Sauron no longer had any body at all. The text is more apt to describe Sauron as a will or a force elsewhere, but when Pippin and Aragorn see Sauron through the palantir, they do seem to arrive at some kind of physical presence as well. But yes, his continued existence in any form requires the Ring.

^considering the symbolic and concrete importance of the missing finger it wouldn't exactly be strange for its loss to be apparent on whatever manifestation Sauron's spirit might take when he needs to have more face-to-face dealings with people - plus it'd be quite strange if Whatstheirfaces didn't see to it his previous body was well and truly disposed of after they beat his ass the last time around, anyway.
IIRC his earlier loss of corporeal form when Numenor sank already cost him the ability to assume a "pleasing" shape (he is, or was, bit of a shapeshifter and also went by "First of the Werewolves" way back when Morgoth was still around if memory serves) - while his kunnin' trik with the Ring enables him to survive physical destruction and Insert Coin To Continue the experience clearly always takes a permanent toll on him.

Odds are pretty good he was also very well aware of the distinct regional variations in gender distributions in the historical European context. Dude was erudite, yo.
