Okay, once again.

Sheik is a made-up character, even in the Zelda universe, created by Zelda. She created Sheik as a male character, as a disguise so nobody would suspect that it's her.
It's true that even though when zelda dresses up as Sheik, she remains a female, but Sheik, the made up character is still a male. When Sheik is standing there, and you point and say "that's a female", you are absolutely correct, but you are actually pointing at Zelda, a female, dressed up as Sheik, a non-existent male character.

If J.K. Rowling dressed up as Harry Potter, would that make Harry Potter female? No, Harry Potter would remain a male, made-up character, and J.K. Rowling would still remain female, even though she was dressing up as this male character.

So yeah. The Sheik we know from Ocarina of Time or Smash is a female, but that's only because it's actually not Sheik, it's Zelda. Sheik doesn't exist, even in Zelda. But he is a male fictional character.

I don't know how to make this even more clear.

You can think that Sheik is just Zelda in disguise and be done with it right there. Female.

You can view Sheik as a separate identity "played" by Zelda like an actress. Male.

You can acknowledge Sheik's overall androgyny and not subscribe to either hard definitions. Androgynous.

Any of these work really.

These posts from the smash Ultimate board say all that needs to be said.

That seems like a reasonable take. I've personally always subscribed to the idea that Sheik is a new (male) body with Zelda's (female) mind in it. His frame is noticeably different from Zelda's in ways that align his with typical male norms. Zelda changes her eye, hair, and skin color; why not expand that to a whole body?

Faris presents as male for the sake of being respected by her crew, but I don't think she identifies as male. She's also biologically female.

So, something I've been wondering: does Bowsette have a penis and/or testicles? I assume the Super Crown is a magical, complete sex change (so, like, she'd have ovaries and a uterus), but one of my friends thinks she has her old equipment.
