In FGO's defense, they do always have some kind of reason why the characters are gender-bended. Nero was either gay or bisexual, Da Vinci was gay (plus he's male in FGO anyways), Okita is often gender-bended in popular media, the most popular iteration of Sanzo in Japan is female (which is also why Bulma, who is base on Sanzo, is also female), Jack the Ripper's identity is unknown and the story is that loli Jack is likely not the actual Jack but her murders were attributed to Jack the Ripper.

Note that the powers and very identity of Servants is heavily influenced by humanity's perception of them, which is why more popular heroes are often stronger. Since Servants were derived from Grand Servants, who are Counter Guardians of Alaya, humanity's collective consciousness, it would make sense that Servants could be molded base on humanity's perception of them, since their source of power or very existence is humanity's collective consciousness.

Bunyun doesn't have any reasons why he was bended, which is probably why she is so confused about it.
