Theory Why Haku is a girl

#1
1. She showed physical attraction to Zabuza, as a girl might be expected to.
2. She had breasts.
3. She looked like a girl in every way and was voice overed by females in both versions of the anime.
4. She claimed to be a man, which was a lie because she was not old enough to be considered one, and she said this to her enemy which indicates that she lied about herself because Naruto was correct in calling her "lady".
5. The instances where she uses female specific words for self reference in the Japanese version.
6. She chose to dress as a girl even though Zabuza would have wanted a boy to act masculine.
7. She is referred to as Zabuza's consort, which is a title given to wives or mistresses of nobility.
8. Her age, weight, and height all fit the class of the kunoichi, not the male shinobi.
9. She lacks physical combat skills and lost to a boy three years younger than her in terms of physical combat. She makes up for the lack of taijutsu with high powered ninjutsu, which is typical of kunoichi.
10. It is impossible for Haku to have been a boy AND have the facts of the series be consistent concerning her character and others.

Kishimoto can only draw anything resembling romance when two men are involved, he's basically admitted to this. Haku wouldn't be half as good if he wasn't a dude. Knowing it was a guy in the back of Kishi's mind probably served as a placebo for him, which gave him the comfort to write a good character. Haku is really just a hack for Kishi.
