Funny thing is, the part in Captain Rainbow makes you prove Birdo is indeed a woman.

Birdo, or Catherine in Japan, seems androgynous enough, also considering both East and West state that the bow and stuff is all to look pretty and feminine anyway.

It's probably made worse with games like Mario Strikers that make an entire species of Birdos all wearing the bows and stuff. At this point, Birdo is merely Birdo. I feel the same way for other Mario and game species and characters unless proven otherwise. It isn't even until the RPG games that we have specifically gendered characters for Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Bom-ombs, and such. Things like Birdo, Yoshi, and Vivian and cronies are are left vague whether there's any real difference in male or female, if they have any at all.
