Kuja:Boy or Girl

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I know they always refer to Kuja as a guy, but I heard it was a girl, kinda looks like one, too

[Quindiana Jones]

As Kuja means "brother", we must assume he is a man.

[Zeromus_X]

Kuja is a man, albeit a little feminine looking.

[DarkLadyNyara]

Kuja is a verrrry effeminate man, but definetly male. No tits, for one.

[Levian]

neither, he's a gnome, or something. I forget.

[Swagman]

Kuja is most definitly a man. A transvestite man, but a man none the less.

[Faris]

Hermaphrodite.

Crossdressing boy

[J.Raven]

Definitely a crossdresser. Probably done to make guy players hate him more, straight guys being generally homophobic.

[TheSpoonyBard]

OOC:	straight guys being generally homophobic. What an utterly ridiculous thing to say.

This is what drives me mad : assertions that Kuja is a transvestite/cross dresser. The definition of 'cross dresser' is "somebody who habitually dresses in clothes traditionally worn by the opposite sex". What self-respecting woman would wear that?! I sure as hell wouldn't!! The top is too high-cut to cover a woman's bosom and the bottoms are clearly a codpiece/loincloth; an article of underwear for men, if you don't know.

Now, I'm not going to deny that Kuja wears very few clothes.... That much is rather, uh...obvious.... But there is a difference between men who dress skimpily *coughsluttilycough* and men who wear women's clothing. Kuja clearly belongs to the former camp. He is a fop, a dandy, an exhibitionist, a peacock (fittingly, his name in the Japanese game - Kujaku - means "peacock": a male bird with beautiful plumage that it displays impressively during mating season to try and woo it's much dowdier female counterpart; sounds about right, eh? ), etc. - but NOT a cross dresser!

Anyway...now I've got that out of the way.... These topics are kind of pointless, IMO, because everyone really knows that Kuja is a man. Anyone who seriously doesn't (despite the fact that Kuja is introduced as "Mystery Man" before you even see him properly) is either A) profoundly stupid, or B) blind (in which case, I apologise).

ermm, scooby, it's a dress. When I first saw him I thought he was a girl! But later I realised he's a man. It's that dress and how he wears it.

A bigger question is: Is Quina a boy or girl?

[Psychotic]

A bigger question is: Is Quina a boy or girl?

A better question is: Is Quina a god or awesome?

ermm, scooby, it's a dress.

It's not a dress. Please see attachments for a good front and back view of Kuja's outfit. He wears a belly top and a loincloth/codpiece (too chunky to be called a thong, IMO), with a sort of open-fronted cape slung loosely around his waist - to hide his tail. His entire back and midriff are exposed. I really don't see how Kuja's outfit could be described as a "dress", by any stretch of the imagination. I also think that if he didn't have a tail, he would probably do away with the cape altogether! Mercifully for you guys (and unfortunately for me...), he has a tail.

When I first saw him I thought he was a girl! But later I realised he's a man.

Do you not read the text in games? Did his introduction as a "Mystery Man" not register with you?

Personally, I never, at any point, thought Kuja was female. I first saw him in a FFIX music video about two years ago - long before I started playing the game (I finished it for the first time about a month ago). I knew nothing about Kuja at that time, or his role in the story; I didn't even know his name. But, I remember thinking - as I watched him spin in all of his feathery red majesty - "who is he?!" Yep - it was love at first sight. *Goes gooey...*

I think his face has a distinctly boyish quality. As does his general air, IMO.

A bigger question is: Is Quina a boy or girl?

Quina is gender-neutral. And to answer Psychotic's better question: Quina is both a god and awesome. Go Quina!
