Considering that the whole thing was a lie during the localization in the first place. Why Capcom stuck with it after all these years I just don't know, but it sturrs up to much BS. Think about it the story doesnt even make sense. A boy born to rich parents, grew got a sex change, and joined a gang to pull off petty crimes? Cmon now?
Keep in mind the original mix-up is from a time when lots of stuff has been retconned and canon mixed around.
Capcom says it now, it's canon now.
Heck, maybe they kept it because it's a famous mix-up and it's the only thing people remembered from the character anyway.
Hm, the story even makes sense if you assume she started causing a lot of trouble afterward and got kicked out of the family... or perhaps got kicked out for being transsexual then turned to crime to get money for the operation to get a body to match the mind.
