She is trans, whether you post THANK YOU/brown-nosing gifs about it or not. Sorry, buddy.

Anyone who goes against their biological gender is trans. They can be trans or nonbinary. This is elementary education, it isn't difficult to grasp. Anyone who wishes to be the gender they weren't assigned at birth is trans. Alluka wants to be a girl, so she is a girl- regardless of what her manipulative brothers believe.

And before I forget, I'd like to know what everyone would consider 'evidence' in terms of proving Alluka is a girl (besides, her saying it). Would it just be Togashi giving a noncommital thumbs up to some interviewer asking 'is Alluka a girl?' because it seems like you're waiting for Togashi to prove that Alluka is *biologically* a girl, which she is not. Or are you waiting for him to give the thumbs up on him saying Alluka is trans specifically? Because knowing Japan and it's frighteningly comedic outlook on trans people (or "ookama" as they refer to them as) I don't think the evidence you're looking for will come any time soon. I will be gobsmacked if Togashi ever put his work in that kind of risk- when/if he decides to bring hxh back.

This is why fans, and trans fans in particular are so adamant about regarding Alluka as trans, because she fits the criteria. Because they see someone they can relate to. For those of us who genuinely care about hxh and don't want to win a painstakingly stupid argument on the Interwebz, it's just about seeing a trans character in a positive light- and NOT comedic relief like you see nearly all the time in anime.
