Kirby: Boy, Girl, or Weird Pink Puff Ball?

Now that I am already going with the genders of Nintendo characters, I was thinking to myself "What's up with Kirby" I did some research and found some responses such as: "Kirby is pink, she's a girl" while I found others such as "She sounds like a chick" However as I have concluded I think Kirby is a boy. Firstly Wikipedia called him a boy and WIKIPEDIA NEVER LIES! Secondly, Kirby was originally in black and white proving the whole pink argument invalid. Just to support what I just said some more Kirby changes color every 5 seconds. What color is fire kirby? Red. What color is ice kirby? Blue. Thank you. Last but not least, I don't think a squishy female puff ball would be willing to fly on a shooting star (no seatbelts), swallow random enemies, and defeat a giant duck king. That is why Kirby is definitely not a Girl.

Birdo is a Boy!

Ok. We all have to face the fact. BIRDO IS A BOY! It clearly states that here in the Super Mario Bros. 2 instruction manual.

The Super Mario Bros. 2 description of Birdo.

That however is not what pisses me off. There are a few things that piss me off about this. Firstly, everyone can stop calling Birdo a guy and saying that him and Yoshi are married. THEY'RE NOT! Secondly, even though Nintendo clearly stated themselves that Birdo was male, they still pair Birdo and Yoshi together as a romantic couple. I don't blame people for thinking he's a girl. Like come on. He's pink. And has a bow in his hair. This one of Nintendo's really pisses me off. Not only that, but Nintendo later refers to her in Super Mario Tennis as a girl. All of this along with pictures of him/her (I don't even know which at this point) flirting with Yoshi. I'm a little confused. Is this the first transexual Nintendo character? Referred to as a he and a she, flirts with other male dinosaurs, and is widely accepted into the Mario "posse". And after all of this Birdo is still going strong today in games such as Mario Kart Wii. This is one cool dinosaur, chicken thing.
