As for the powers selecting people based on biology or psychology, it's most probably biology, since anyone can think and believe that they're something. I could identify as an attack helicopter, but doesn't mean that someone would pilot me into an air battle. 1) I think you are confusing biological sex with gender identity.

It's impossible to know a person's gender identity for certain without them telling you.

Oscar's parents, like most parents, could simply have had a biologically male child and so assumed they were male. Until Oscar doesn't speak up that he doesn't identify as male.

2) There is a biological component to gender identity, though. Female and male brains are different.

Also, please, don't ever use that comparison again. I know where you are coming from, with all those kids of Tumblr saying their gender is "stars" or "unicorn". But lumping people who experience legit gender dysphoria with attention seeking kids on Tumblr is not ok.
