Yes, you have 'canon' proof (from a very outdated book that has had some of its contents retconned by Togashi himself, but whatever) that Alluka's sex is male. However, right on the wiki's sidebar, it lists as "Gender: Male." Gender is not the same as sex, and insisting it is is wrong and offensive. From what we have seen in both the show and the manga, Alluka is a girl - she uses feminine personal pronouns, asks if she was a 'good girl,' etc. The person closest to her, Killua, makes sure to have female bodyguards come along because Alluka is a girl. He directly states this in front of Alluka, who does not argue, show discomfort, or otherwise disagree with him. It's been stated before, but I feel it's important to reiterate that the only time Killua says 'little brother' was when he was trying to withhold as much information as possible.

Anyways, what I wanted to say was saying you won't change her gender until there's 'solid proof' is ridiculous. This is basically saying, 'everyone is cisgender unless directly stated otherwise.'  It should be obvious why people are upset with your line of reasoning. So please, listen to what we're saying. Realize that these issues may be much more personal to us than you, which is why we're so adament. In my opinion, Alluka is a trans girl, but what's NOT just my opinion is that either way, Alluka is a girl. Thanks for listening. It was Nanika who asked Killua to call her a good girl, since Nanika calls Killua by name and Alluka calls him "Brother". Also, the Hunter fandom is actually 50-50 about Alluka. There are those who also believe Alluka is male, and others believe female.
