I've known about the gender thing for awhile but I do find it interesting that a female visualized Nanachi as male.  Speaking for myself, I will always see Nanachi as female, even if the mangaka himself said otherwise.  I doubt I'm alone, either, considering Nanachi was runner-up for Best Girl last season on r/anime (should have won).

Doesn't matter, though, really.  Either way, Nanachi is awesome.

I had a much harder time with the manga for Houseki no Kuni using male pronouns because the gems have no gender.  

I think her logic basically boiled down the character being shirtless most of the time and preferring female physical contact (which I feel works either way)...and that the series already has a precedent for feminine looking male characters (I feel ashamed I didn't realize that blue haired kid was a trap until a later rewatch). Personally I think she just ships Nanachi/Mitty and doesn't want a yuri pairing. Eh.

The bolded is key though.
