Yes it can. ;-)
According to the Ninja High School Perfect Memory vol 1 only female
Salusians have tails. In actual NHS issues there was a fem military
officer with no tail, while other females seen in back ground have
tails. I just assumed the officer (and maybe other females as well)
may have had her tail surgically (or otherwise) removed, maybe for
the sake of career advancement. Who knows maybe despite the advanced
culture of the Salusians there are still gender issues within the
military, and a female officer who wants respect or to advance in
rank may opt to have her tail removed to prevent being percieved as
effeminate in the sense of the 'weaker gender' issues and other such
bullshit.
Hell, even in the civilian section there may even be homosexual
cultural issues involved where 'butch' lesbians opt for elective
surgury to have their tails removed to appear more masculine.
It's all theory and rambling at this point, but my weird mind comes
up with shit like this on occasion.
