Knowing nothing but what I've seen in the preview images and the comments of this thread, I have three suggestions for the confusion about this character's gender. First I must say, my personal stance is that (
at least) 90% of our concepts of gender are manufactured by marketing agents that want us pigeonholed into stereotypes, because that makes it easier for them to target specific groups of people in advertising. However, I can also see that if you want to get super scientific about body forms, there are differences in the actual wireframe models sold for male and female character rendering, and that in real life a muscular woman will look (slightly) different from a muscular man. However, there are relatively few major differences in male and female bodies, aside from the glaringly obvious, which is why people who feel the need to have clear definitions sometimes cling to those traits. With that said, I offer the following three possibilities:
1. She's a tomboy. I don't know if I'm even "allowed" to say that these days, I'm usually happy to use whatever terms people ask me to use. It doesn't hurt me any to be polite, but sometimes it does feel hard to have a conversation without using older and more well recognized terms. So, my apologies if anyone doesn't like the word "tomboy," but I feel like it may be the descriptor that best explains who this character is. I actually like tomboys, and I don't see anything wrong with it. They're just girls that are athletic and up for some potentially rough/outdoorsy fun.
2. She's "a boy with a vagina" that fights "women with penises." Get it? She's like the opposite of a futa, because she fights futas. She's the anti-futa. It's a whole "two-sides of the same coin" thing.
3. She's based on DC's Carrie Kelley, the Robin from
The Dark Knight Returns, but with a more traditional Robin mask. Her version of Robin usually wears glasses/goggles (I don't know why, I never read the comic, I prefer funny/campy Batman). Here are some images of Carrie Kelley and the typical Robin mask.
