The fact that it is old does not mean anything, it's not like Pitou's gender could have changed as time passed, but what do you mean by "retconned"? If it is written by Togashi himself, there is no way we can contradict the author., unless the information is in clear contrast with what is written in the manga, and in this case, it isn't.
