Well, while someone (ahem won't mention names) is losing their shit over here, I'd just like to thank those who supported the trans Alluka ideal for being cohesive and consistent through this. I guess people simply can't imagine a trans character in a popular shounen manga who isn't the huge butt of a joke, or a super creepy villain, or a murder victim in some weird case. We hear the arguement that we won't know ~ for sure ~ unless Togashi says so for himself, but as most of us know, Togashi won't be returning for a while. And if he does, I highly doubt clearing up Alluka's gender is on the top of his priority list. People who want Alluka to be male probably realize this, and probably pray Togashi will never acknowledge it again.

That's where fans are entitled to step in and fill in the gaps until the author *can* conclude for himself. Information is costantly changing (hence, why the Databook is not very relevant) and if Togashi does say Alluka is purely male, then the mods will obviously change it. Simple as that. Until then, I feel as though it's just plain and simple PROGRESS to allow Alluka to be a trans girl, to showcase her as a positive trans character and just get with the program already. Media is changing for the better. HunterxHunter wiki should jump on that bandwagon already.
