What I was saying was that for Jaune to become a Maiden (naturally, that is without the use of tech) it'd have to be an exception to the rules we already know.

And yeah, I wasn't really taking into account the artificial aura transference thing, since given that they're already cheating the system and breaking all the rules of succession, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to also cheat the gender specificity thing (unless some rules are somehow "stronger / more enforced" than others? but not too sure that makes sense).

And about the whole Schnee Semblance thing, the WoR for "Aura" says "The power associated with a wielder's Semblance is completely unique." (emphasis added) They then contradicted this in the Volume 2 Hiatus Live Stream where they give the possibility of Semblances being hereditary (and thus not completely unique) a "solid maybe". And finally we have the exchange in "Lessons Learned" where we learn that the Schnees totes do have hereditary Semblances after all.

So in that particular case, I don't really know how else to describe that except for them contradicting themselves. We could start second-guessing every statement ever, but that would really bog down discussion since no hypothesis could ever be refuted and that would be boring.
