The TD creative team insists that both endings in a given season are equally "official". For example, there's one TDA episode where Gwen, in a confessional spot, mentions her placement in the first season. There are two versions of this scene. In one version, she says she was second. In the other, she says she was first. The latter version aired in markets that used the "Gwen wins" ending for Season 1.

As for the alleged sexism, I don't see it myself. More interesting is that some people see closet racism in the show. The most noteworthy bit of evidence is that all the main antagonists have been minorities: Heather (Asian or half-Asian), Justin (Polynesian), Courtney (allegedly Hispanic), and Alejandro (Hispanic). There were no minority finalists until Season 3, and that was an "evil vs. wicked" (to use Harold's words) battle between main antagonist Alejandro and "villain protagonist" Heather.
