Edit: Wait a minute, here's a question: If the process had succeeded, would Pyrrha have even been able to use the Maiden powers, or did they just want her to hold onto Amber's half of the powers so that the vessel holding the powers would be able to walk around and defend itself and because they couldn't keep Amber alive forever? It looked to me like Ozpin wanted Pyrrha to inherit the powers right then so she could use them to fight off the Grimm and that Dragon.

About female and male souls being compatible, Ozpin (or his will, or whatever) could have being a woman in the past, for all we know.
