1) If Casey is a boy: 'How dare you not take the chance to represent a relationship outside of the norm.'
2) If Casey is a girl: 'Stop pushing this agenda on us, please. We just want to play the game.'
3) If Casey is a corgi: 'What happend to earth, have corgis taken over? Does this mean Beatrix is also a corgi? Have the devs lied to us on that, trying to obscure Bea's true identity? Are spoons even real. Is this the real live, is this just fantasy?'
So, I'd rather have option 3, because that would be more fun than generating yet another discussion about a fictional character's identity and whether or not it is appropriate for a game with such an age rating.
That said, for those who want to pick one or the other, a sociolinguist might help you (but, do remove the names of Bea and Casey, since that might sway the analysis one way or another). Since the style of the letters might reveal something. (But don't come to me, because my field is historical linguistics :Þ)

You realise it doesn't matter right
Bea is a representation of the player, so Casey is whatever the player wants

Even after Casey has a 'voice' in something we're cooking up for the end of adventure mode, the 'voice' isn't canonical. Casey's gender will remain canonically ambiguous.
