I'm not against the *idea* (e.g. I found YnS fairly believable) but I'm saying it simply has not been established in the story other than as a comedic jibe.
Actually, the Westermarck effect is not really against them in this case. They were raised together, got a good foundation relationship, then when Kirino is about to understand "he is my brother, I can't married him" (on her own), their relationship shattered. So she never go to that part, and still (maybe) considered him as male. This is quite similar to Himenokoji Akiko's case.
