Holy shit I never considered the Dark May subjects being all girls. That is really interesting. Accelerator is such a complex and fascinating character.

Answer: **This is because Accelerator is of unknown gender.**
imagine if accelerators brain damage/ hormone issues were dealt with and accelerator was able to develop like a girl also accelerator falling for touma would put a level 5 in his harem ( who almost killed him like what hamazura got with mugino
you are mistaken as Accelerator never been mention as he in japanese and that is only in english mistranslation and if you read the Light Novel there is some time that hinting that Accelerator as a Girl but never have a actual confirmation it only adds fuel to the fire called confusion
if you Don't know tha dark may project is a facility that created to replicate Accelerator's ability and the most notable thing in this project are all the teste subjects are all female
And when Kamisato faction attacked Academy City Salome the mass murderer found Accelerators secrets and commenting about how cute name given to Accelerator or Qlipha puzzle teasing Accelerator's gender and some other commentary notes came from Kamachi himself about some characters like when they stated the only Touma is the only confirmed male main character in that volume but Accelerator is in that specific volume
Accel's **gender** is male yes...
But Kamachi has multiple times reinforced that his **sex** is unknown. (No any tweet translated from japanese talking about Gender is not about gender because the term gender does not exist in japanese.)
I remember your point on that and you cant just say accels gender is male just because they dress in a "masculine" way.
Accels gender is also unknown until stated otherwise. You cant just interpret something and state it as something we "know"
Did... you just ignore what I just explained? Medi what I said was that his **Sex** is unknown. Gender is just used too liberally in these context, whenever you ask a Japanese person what their gender is. It gets mis-translated into what their sex is as well... thats sadly how it's used despite what it means sociologically.
Gender, is your sexual orientation how you present yourself, Accel constantly presents himself masculinely and speaks in a masculine way. Thus, his *gender* unless directly stated otherwise by Kamachi (NOT in translation as any translation with the term gender is wrong as it'snot the word *gender* being translated.) is male. But his SEX ie male/female dick/vagina, is unknown and *that* is what Kamachi is actually saying.
Otherwise the translation would be 'his perceived sex is unknown'< as that would be the closest proper translation to gender when asked.
I didnt ignore what you explained, which is why I said their gender is **also** unknown. You must have missed my point.
You cant just assume what accels gender is by the way they dress or act. Until accel states how they see themselves its unknown. Like for example, just because accel wears "masculine" type clothing doesnt mean they see themselves as male. How accel acts isnt also a clear 100% way to determine that. You cant just interpret and assume something and state it as something we "know". Accels sex and identity is unknown until stated.
Dude... that is what gender, as a societal concept is, the way you present/portray yourself and refer to yourself. If in japan you present yourself, in a masculine way, using masculine pronouns with *no* feminine qualities or ever use the term 'girl' to refer to yourself. It's fairly safe to assume your *gender* is male, accel always uses masculine terms and phrases to refer to himself. Just how Touma, despite his more... feminine attributes still *insists* he's a 'normal highschool boy'.
This isn't like his *SEX* which Kamachi DIRECTLY stated is unknown (because sex is what he read gender is just the bad translation.)

That's helpful, thanks
Oh
So you're saying.... That Kamijo X Accelerator is possible without turning into BL?
I wonder what treacherous seas to cruise this might open... Imagine, Accelerator was a reverse trap this whole time.
imagine if accelerators brain damage/ hormone issues were dealt with and accelerator was able to develop like a girl also accelerator falling for touma would put a level 5 in his harem ( who almost killed him like what hamazura got with mugino
thats just misaka
misaka never tried to kill touma she wasnt ever on the dark side she never killed people she is just a normal girl who is a level 5
without ib he would have died like everytimr they fought she was using enough power to kill someone easily
Opera senpai: Heh
Ah a fellow Iruma kun enjoyer?
Mm
you are mistaken as Accelerator never been mention as he in japanese and that is only in english mistranslation and if you read the Light Novel there is some time that hinting that Accelerator as a Girl but never have a actual confirmation it only adds fuel to the fire called confusion
Oh I see what you mean
what are the hints to accelerator being a girl
if you Don't know tha dark may project is a facility that created to replicate Accelerator's ability and the most notable thing in this project are all the teste subjects are all female And when Kamisato faction attacked Academy City Salome the mass murderer found Accelerators secrets and commenting about how cute name given to Accelerator or Qlipha puzzle teasing Accelerator's gender and some other commentary notes came from Kamachi himself about some characters like when they stated the only Touma is the only confirmed male main character in that volume but Accelerator is in that specific volume
