You do know that about half of the male characters in this show are voice by women right? So I guess, Gon, Killua, Zushi, Shalnark etc.. are also female then by your logic.

I get the feeling that this is the rationale behind most people wanting Pitou to be a female

Exactly, you hit the nail on the head. Although Seeing as how there's so many trap characters in this series I get the feeling that Togashi actually has a reason for making certain characters who look like females, men (Kurapika, kalluto, etc...).

Then Gon goes to visit his aunt Mito, still the same as ever...but no, she was a man since the beginning...at least officially now he is.

Word of god can go as far as the author wants it too. If those scenerios you mentioned did come true then we'd have no choice but to just shut up and accept it, since it's what the author wanted. An example of this actually happened in Jojo's bizarre adventure, where the author made this character

Spoiler:

into a man (Not a spoiler since it had nothing to do with the plot at all).
