I think you've pretty much hit upon the problem in your own message here: we don't know. There's compelling arguements on both ends. It hasn't been stated directly. When gender non-conforming characters like Chihiro also exist in the series' universe, we can't assume based on how someone looks, either, or based on the pronouns people use to refer to others. Imposter claims not to have (or at least identifies as not having) an identity. By using gender neutral pronouns we're not saying that Imposter is NB, just that they don't have a self-proclaimed gender. The "he" pronouns used in their FTE as compelling, but because everything about the character's real identity is shaky - and because Imposter's refering to their past self, before fully committing head-first into being an identity-less person, we just decided to go with "they" pronouns for simplicity's sake. By contrast, Chihiro directly states "I'm a boy".
