Trans characters are so big thing nowadays that I think the show would make it obvius if character haf physically different gender when they were younger. In other words, make Jaune's (or Nora's) childhood design obviously feminine (or masculin). Plus since when has RWBY ever been subtle with anything?

You could also ask why Jaune being born as a girl would effect his father's choice to train him? From what we have seen, the number of Huntresses and Huntsmen is pretty much 50/50. Jaune's father having "girls can't fight" attitude would be just weird.

But who knows, maybe I'm wrong. I still think it's unlikely but it wouldn't be the most out there twist either.
