The lack of a gen option is a disappointing limitation of margins.
But, you might be able to do something like the following:
clonevar xfemale = female
reg y i.xfemale x1 x2 x3
replace xfemale = 0
predict yhatmale
replace xfemale = 1
predict yhatfemale
In other words, run the regression, set variables to the values you
want, and then do a predict. Change the values to something else if
so desired and do a new predict. I used clonevar so I wouldn't wipe
out the original variables, but you can also do things like preserve
and restore.

Dear all,
After an anova command, I want to predict with some of the factors at
specific levels overruling the level specified in the variable. I also need
the resulting predictions in a new variable. I was used to work with the
adjust ....., gen(newvar)
conctruction.
What I read in the help and FAQs is (summarized)
- margins is the successor of adjust
- margins can not be combined with the option "gen(newvar)"
- "adjust will often fail if you do not run your estimation command under
version control, with the version set to less than 11"
I am wondering if there exists a Stata 13 construct that I can use.
If not, is there some source that is more specific about the conditions
uder which adjust does/does not work?
Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Best regards
Marnix
