Not knowing whether the Dragon Reborn is a man or a woman is a major change.
Sanderson said yesterday on reddit that the only difference in this adaptation (with regards to this point) is that the Aes Sedai have their lore wrong. Meaning, the Dragon is still a man. It's still Rand. The Aes Sedai just don't know or understand the prophecy correctly and don't know that Souls are gendered.
Overall, this affects the plot very minimally. Like, almost not at all. But, on the flip side, girls/women will get invested in Egwene, and non book readers in general will have fun discussion about who the Dragon Reborn is. I don't mind the change.

I've mentioned a few times that I'm halfway through book 2. Something in the show has actually helped me with the book. So much information is thrown at you in the books that I forgot that Aes Sedai can't lie. The show reminded me of this. So, now, whenever I am reading dialogue from Moraine, I'm extra focused one whatever she says. She may be talking to someone that doesn't know her motivations and says something that on the surface looks like a lie. Once you break it down, it really isn't. I'm enjoying trying to pick to those things out.

Completely disagree on this affecting the plot minimally. The Dragon being able to be a man or woman completely changes the world. The Dragon is feared because he caused the breaking of the world so if he could come back as a female channeler then why are Aes Sedai allowed to exist? They would have been hunted down ruthlessly and never allowed to form the White Tower.
Now, I get that for the actual plot it won't matter since Rand will be the Dragon but to say it doesn't matter but it is a giant change to the world.
