Personally, this is where I kind of presume "LGBTQ stuff doesn't really matter in Remnant" comes into play.

I assume this means that it is entirely possible for someone whose body is male but identifies as female could potentially acquire maiden powers(after conversion therapy makes their body female).

by the same token, Penny appears to identify as female, and she is well within the target age range for power to be transferred.

note that they've never indicated anything has to be working(or tbh that the female even needs to be human, though if Penny has artificial genetics, I'd assume they use human genetic material to make the organic bits).
