I hate taking part in this kind of conversation but I feel the need to point out that this is wrong, Alluka specifically wants to acknowledged as a "good girl" in chapter 330 and uses the super-feminine "atashi" personal pronoun (and atashi isn't an ambiguous pronoun like boku can be, atashi is really only used by girls and sometimes by drag queen/"okama" stereotype characters).

So any argument against Alluka not being a girl because "she never refers to herself as a girl, it's just killua" is just wrong.

(and the "databook argument" really doesn't hold much weight when Togashi had already retconned Zoldyck-relevant information, making the databook obsolete since 2006-ish)

But I'll be leaving this conversation now since it's just full of people who hear only what they want to hear.
