Settra and Neferata dont but you could always say they are from one of the minor kings. Hell this game has male sorcs and skaven were on both sides on live so the lore has been bent before.
Male Sorcerers don't bend the lore, they break it. Malekith is extraordinarily paranoid about being assassinated because of a prophecy detailing a male with magical capabilities being his end. He's outlawed magic use for males, magically bond himself to all female users to monitor the "Dhar", and devoted and entire section of Temple of Khaine to hunting down any rogues. The fact that they are in the game and can walk around freely being a known "champion of House Uthorin" is absurd.

From a nerd-lorenazi perspective, all Tomb Kings pathologicaly hate EVERYONE who isn't a dead Khemrian. They are the unliving stereotype of xenophobia, only leaving Khemri to avenge wrongs or retrieve stolen artifacts.
Undeath in the Warhammer setting doesn't function the same way as more more popular conceptions (like World of Darkness), where if an entity becomes "undead", their sentience is limited to the mindset they had just as they died. Instead, named undead characters are, for all intents and purposes, as sentient as their living counter-parts, as they tend to go through character growth, accomplish goals, and build relationships with other characters. Its also been assumed, through the Neferati books, that unless the undead is specifically named, they are mindless husks, embodying the will of the Tomb King they were bound to in life. Referring to them as "pathological" or "xenophobic" is putting too much of a modern, human spin on undeath.
