Ok, let's start off with the sourcing you are probably going to disregard;

"Astolfo  is a fictional character  of the Matter of France  where he is one of Charlemange 's Paladins . He is the son of Otto, King of England"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astolfo

Next, let's move onto what we at the FGO Wiki and probably most Fate fans tend to refer to;

"Rider's True Name is Astolfo, one the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne. In the Charlemagne Legend, he is the son of an English king"

"Gender: Male"

The source of the gender dispute;

"He purposefully dress as a girl because he like cute things.  His gender in the servant status was written "le Secret♪"."

Now. I somehow doubt this will satisfy you, so I'll even through in some sourcing directly from his Bio itself;

"アストルフォはフランスの代表的な騎士道物語、

シャルルマーニュ伝説の登場人物.

シャルルマーニュ十二勇士の一人であり、

イングランドの王子である. "

I'm going to assume you can't read this, so I will kindly make this easier for you.

"Astolfo is a representative of France's Tale of Chivalry,

A character from the Charlemange Legend.

One of the 12 Charlemange Paladins,

As well as a Prince of England."

Now, the word to pay attention to here is " 王子" 

''' If you run this through Google translate, or Jisho or whatever it is you want to use to understand this, i'm fairly confident they will all give you the same answer regarding what this means. '''

''' In short, yes, Astolfo himself did indeed say that he wanted his Sex to be a secret. However, this is considered a gag by the fanbase because his actual gender was already known. '''

We try and keep our translations here as faithful to the original text as we can and after looking at the raw text this is what was determined to be most accurate.
