>>2147926Sometimes I ask myself, "Why does Crona need a gender?"
Crona was Medusa's first attempt at creating a Kishin. Medusa is said to be Crona's mother, but given the fact that Medusa is a witch and Crona is a failed Kishin, I kind of got the vibe that Crona is a magically-created artificial lifeform, like a homunculus. If that's the case, then there really wouldn't be much reason to give the body genitalia in the first place, since Kishin don't reproduce like that.
No testes or ovaries would not only mean no physically verifiable sex, but also mean much less testosterone and estrogen, giving way to an androgynous appearance, which the kid definitely has. And I don't mean androgyny as in boypretty, I mean smack-in-the-middle, "I'm sorry, sir/ma'am, but are you a sir or a ma'am?" androgyny.
My headcanon? Crona is a it.
Now, due to the nature of the English language, if you call someone "it", you are implying they are not a person because people are either male or female. True, there are people with nonbinary gender identities and shit like that, but when it all comes down to it, you either have a dick or you don't. Even when it comes to ambiguous genitalia, people with ambiguous genitalia are to true hermaphrodites and genderless people as one-eyed people are to cyclopes. But what if we really did come across a person whose physical sex and could actually be disputed? Unless we're willing to adopt with some weird new hipster pronoun, we're going to have to refer to that person the singular they, causing every grammar Nazi in a 10-mile radius to simultaneously flip the table, or be satisfied with calling the person of unclassifiable sex and gender "it".
Or avoid referring to that person using a singular pronoun at all.
Personally, I'm comfortable with calling Crona "it". We're probably going to come across similar characters in the future, so we might as well get used over "it" now.
