It may be that the translator based this solely on Nanaba's appearance, but it may also be that they asked Isayama if it "was OK to make Nanaba male". And for the record, he told the anime production otherwise... so I'm guessing Isayama likes this kind of stupid fanwanks.

And about the comment, yeah, that's what my friends are like lol.
