I love how the paragraph opened with how anyone can upload their own skins, and use simple photo editing and have unlimited creative freedom. But then in the back half of the second paragraph they reveal that their kid has been using the default female character the whole time. So none of that customization stuff anyway, the game said “boy or girl” on boot, they picked “girl”, and that’s that.
Alex isn’t even an explicitly female skin either. It’s literally just Jeb without a beard, and most of the default skins outside of Steve are quite gender neutral.

Even Steve is “supposed to be gender neutral” by some official accounts.
Of course the interpretation is up to the player.
