Taking game lore only, they saw M2 as female, a clone of Mew who gave birth. Shudo muddied the water, as he knew he was writing chiefly for a male kid audience and knew kids would shit on a female antagonist pokémon. But GF then went and made MM2X and MM2Y, giving them clear gender distinctions and emphasising different attacking stats in linbe with male/female tropes. Mewtwo is a species, not a singular entity. With the WIDE variety of ways and means PC's end up encountering past legendaries in places that honestly shouldn't include them, it's clear there's more than one entity of each out there, no matter how badly that breaks your little head canon.
