Maybe Grandpa here needs to take his meds but when I was a child some of my favorite creators behind my favorite franchises also made statements about a character's gender that turned out to be false/lies/a ruse.

Here is an excerpt from 1987's Metroid.

''As a last resort, the Federation Police have decided on this strategy: to send aspace hunter to penetrate the center of the fortress and destroy Mother Brain. Thespace hunter chosen for this mission is Samus Aran. He is the greatest of all the space hunters and has successfully completed numerous missions that everybody thoughtwere absolutely impossible. He is a cyborg: his entire body has been surgically strengthened with robotics, giving him superpowers. Even the space pirates fear hisspace suit, which can absorb any enemy's power. But his true form is shrouded in mystery.''

In every interview and preview of Metroid Samus Aran was referred to as a man. Yet by the end of the game we all learned that Samus was a young woman.

In 1993 Batman: the Animated Series was given its own animated movie called Mask of the Phantasm. In every preview and commercial the creators of the show referred to the mystery figure as a he and him as did the characters of the show. Yet by the end of the movie this turned out to be false.

Yesterday in Thailand a young woman named Angkookrat Warangnam beat hundreds of other ladies in a beauty contest and revealed she was born male.
