TBH, with all this debate about whether or not to call Ruka as a he or she/him or her sort of deal, and the whole transgender issue, I think you're all reading way too far into it. I mean, there's the whole plot deal which is why the creators would choose to have some gender-bending in it. Also, wanting to be a different sex than what you were born as doesn't always mean you're transgender. (What would make the transgender argument valid is the fact that Ruka felt like they should have been born female, but is that nature or nuture since his family took down those masculine roles, and would that therefore imply if it's a psychological instead of biological that Ruka is truly a transgender person?) Plenty of people wish to be the opposite sex because of status, physical abilities, needs, et cetera. I for example wish I was born male not because I feel like it suits me better but because I despise the female body and the stigmas attached to it. Although Ruka is into men, bringing that up to show that he doesn't want to be female since he hates males, could it be that he wishes to be female because of what his family placed on him or because he would just merely enjoy it? And lowkey, I think it would be a lot more interesting if Ruka didn't have a feminine frame, since isn't that a bit stereotypical in itself?

Just playing Devil's Advocate, since a lot of the arguments going on are so lacking on so many levels. And honestly, I think the creators could give two shits about Ruka's gender, Ruka was just used for plot and nothing else, I mean, imagine if Ruka didn't exist at all. I really can't see a way how everything would have moved forward, in the game and in the anime (especially in the anime, man,).
