Uhhh... Actually, had the sex been ambiguous, Natushi could have referred to him as "The Person from 19 Years Ago" instead of referring to that person as a man.

The reason why she called him a man was because that person was using Ore and eventually Boku as personal pronouns - which, as you probably already know, are first person pronouns used only by males.

In addition, why would you use Daisuke Ono's voice for someone who is supposed to sound gender neutral? That's a terrible idea.
