All pawn are actually female, because at most, they can only ever be Queens.
You can actually promote a pawn to any other piece as well (rook, bishop, knight, etc.), this is known as underpromotion. It's mostly a "why would you ever do that?" thing, though.
There are some situations where promoting to a Queen would result in a stalemate
Or to humiliate your opponent
Or possibly promoting to knight would give you checkmate where queen wouldnβt.
That's why they said "at most"
The newest research on this topic found out that the "pawn" is actually hermaphrodite.
No, all pawns are trans. They can end up either as a queen or a knight.
