I do not know the ingame lore, but historically Charles-Geneviève-Louis-Auguste-André-Timothée d'Éon de Beaumont identified themselves as a man for 49 years of their life, then identified as a woman for the remaining 33, claiming to have been a woman by birth but having faked their gender to hallow his father to inherit his fortune, which required a son to be born. Others said that D'Èon was lying to get a pardon from the king, because of some arrangements that forced him to banish the spy to London, so that he sent D'Èon a set of woman's clothes to facilitate their return in France. Doctors that examinated D'Èon's body found that the Chevalier had "male organs in every respect perfectly formed," while at the same time displaying feminine characteristics. A couple of characteristics described in the certificate were "unusual roundness in the formation of limbs," as well as'' "breast remarkably full." ''

On the basis of those reports D'Èon was probably intersex, or born with a congenital androgen insensitivity, as there is no record of any surgery or hormonal treatment.
