I was trying to say "the narrative treats Alluka as a girl so why are we still fighting over whether or not she is one", not "Alluka is a girl with a vagina". I was commenting on Alluka's gender, not her sex. Her gender is actually a really awkward issue, since they could be merely wearing the girly cloths for Nanika's sake as they seem to care for Nanika greatly so much so they slapped Killua for shouting at Nanika.

I am not saying they couldn't be a transgender, but I don't think there is much concrete evidence that seriously points towards that notion besides thyeir dressing attire. I mean it's really not an awkward issue. Like I said, the chapter title + Togashi having put a transgender character in both Level E and Yu Yu Hakushou + the whole point of the Killua side of the Election Arc being "Killua is the only one who understands Alluka and Nanika and the Zoldycks outside of him are consistently wrong and uninformed about them to the point of not realizing they're two separate beings".

You said yourself a few things that are very telling that you believe Alluka is a transgender girl (particularly " The title reflects how Killua views Alluka perfectly"  ), but are apparently balking at actually saying she is, so I'm a little confused as to whether or not you understand what being transgender actually entails.

I wanna make it really clear that I'm not trying to judge or attack, I'm legitimately confused as to how you could agree that Killua being right about Alluka and Nanika is a plot point (and actually be the one to bring it up) but not believe that Alluka is (I thought pretty obviously) transgender and that that's the simple explanation for the Zoldycks referring to her as a boy (very rarely, in fact, and mostly in flashbacks).
