User blog comment:Martialmaniac/Alluka gender poll (not binding)/@comment-25814498-20160403141606

I didn't want to take part, but I'd rather not leave patrick on his own.

I believe we should stick with the gender neutral pronouns. As of right now, the issue is far to confusing to simply say "Alluka is a girl, get over it, herp derp", which is the entire reason there's a gender ambiguity section in the first place; it's not that simple. Above all else however, Naniki is the thing preventing me from saying we should just up and change his gender to female. As martial said, it was clearly Naniki speaking when she said "Killua, I was a good girl, wasn't I!?", so the two personalities should be taken into account. But above all else, I take issue with what was said by "Kawoshins"(and several others for that matter); I do not care how you choose to interpret Alluka's character. This wiki is exactly that, not a fanon, not a community hub(entirely), but a source of information on hunter x hunter which people will come to see. Just because transgender characters are so scarce in anime, just because it's refreshing to see one, '''just because you want to see Alluka be transgender does not make that the case. '''That right there is the problem. To paraphrase Filtray who spoke on the Alluka's Gender blog; some people want their identiy represented in the anime, but fail to see anything other than the character they have created for them inside their head. I believe it's more than likely that Alluka is transgender, I'd be an idiot if I though otherwise, but much like neferpitou, my own ideas for the character do not change the facts. So I'll be a little contradictory here:

If you believe that Alluka is indeed trans female, then by all means continue to think this. Without any solid confirmation for either side, you can interpret her character as you see fit, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, ideas like that have no place on a wiki such as this. Personal bias will not change the facts, so while the fact may be that Alluka is indeed trans female and the issue really has been as simple as we thought, contradicting information from the databook and the characters(including killua who in one instance referred to Alluka as "brother") means that we should not jump to conclusions at this point in time.

How was that, Martial?
