There would be no reason for the Zepar/Furfur Kanon/Shannon duality if Beatrice were just a girl. The Shannon/Kanon conflict is a gender struggle at its heart, and it would not be the same if Yasu grew up with a normal sexual identity. Nor would it be a mere sex orientation issue, as it specifically ties into the furniture issue and what that actually means. Both Kanon and Shannon are "subhuman" furniture because neither is truly either gender. The idea that this duality really has no significance other than to portray Yasu's gender roles would make no sense. Where would that come from? What is the drive? In your case, there is none. What comparative physical issue would cause this specific belief? Every time someone tries to deny the truth here, they just lessen every key concept (furniture, injury, etc.) into something more palatable and completely ignore that they make no sense and have no comparative explanation. In EP7 she specifically says "this injury" has caused her to live as furniture with a physical body unable to love. This is much more serious than a vaginal injury, masectomy, or damage to her ability to carry a child. Love =/= merely the ability to reproduce. This damage probably caused a neutering in male potence, and definitely caused severe gender confusion and resulting difficulties in achieving perceived acceptance from EITHER gender. Beatrice's shriek of anguish in front of Nanjo and Genji isn't the shriek of a female with mere hidden physical trauma. To argue that Yasu was a girl all along is to ignore a big part of the real tragedy and the significance of key concepts in the story. This whole denial bullshit that's been perpetuated ever since EP7 is just this garbage romanticism that people use to cop out from the truth because they don't like the outcome.
