Togashi is a lazy genius, we all agree.

@Igneus Rock: It is pretty safe to assume Gotoh would have known if Alluka were a girl, he looks rather surprised by Killua's statement. Some of the translations had inverted commas, is it the same also in the official release?

Anyway, it's not just Killua not correcting Morel on the phone (who, by the way, was repeating Killua's words) or Togashi's single mention of Alluka's sex, all the Zoldycks except for Killua treat Alluka as an object, they do not even care if Alluka's gender is male or female.

If you say Alluka is a trans girl, then it's all good, that is what being discussed; but it has been made pretty clear it is no longer possible to say she has a female body, too.

In any case, the author not remembering the gender of his characters or changing it on purpose is, sorry if I say it, a titally stupid idea that does not belong in the discussion. Unless you can prove that is the case, it is meaningless. Even if he said so long ago (how the hell can someone forget the gender of his characters? Anyway), the fact that he maintains an ambiguous position does not allow us to infer he has changed his mind until there is a clear contradiction or statement on his part.
