It's not just in inner alchemy that this is true, it's a pervasive dualism throughout the entirety of the popular chinese culture, the basis of which is formed by daoism, a deistic/shamanistic 'religion', philosophy and way of life that far predates modern religion.

Most people are familiar with this in the form of the yin yang, yin being dark, soft, submissive and often portrayed as female whereas yang is bright, more active than reactive and associated with the male.

Equinox being a warframe embodiment of this exact dualism, would make perfect sense to be a male/female dualism.

So two things - China only would take issue with this because though the common person is culturally daoist, the government is very much Confucist which is basically the political opposite of daoism.

And to the people who think that the above fact was invented, given your complete ignorance of the topic it seems much more likely that you're psychologically deflecting when you accuse others of seeing what they want to see. This is common, assuming that others have the same deficiency that you do, but more often than not it says far more about you than the person at whom you're hurling accusations - and this instance that principle is painfully clearly illustrated

"Wrong. She's always been female, stop spreading lies just because that's how you want it to be."

One of the most clear examples of the phenomenon I've ever seen. Not to mention you really have to admire the way they intelligently support their opinion - instead choosing to use short, direct sentences which the internet often mistakes for intelligence - but only because it's so often used as cover when discussing a topic about which the speaker really has very little knowledge.
