People mistake real people's gender all the time. It doesn't have anything to do with poor design, it has to do with the fact that we oversimplify gender and the way it relates to people's bodies. Sometimes a man has exceptionally wide hips. Sometimes a woman has a thick neck. Etc etc etc.

It's like trying to categorize all games as either action or RPG's. There are some games that are easy to do this with. Final Fantasy 1 is an RPG. Final Fight is action. But while some games fit cleanly into these labels, not all will. Because games are complicated and have all sorts of different qualities. Sometimes a game will have elements that go in both categories, while some elements will go in neither.

It becomes a lot easier to deal with once you realize that these labels aren't important. They're just our best efforts at trying to understand and communicate about a world that is so complex as to be ultimately beyond our comprehension. So when things don't fit into your preconceived notions, that's not necessarily a failing on anyone's part, as much as it's an opportunity to realize how much variety the universe is capable of producing.

All of which is to say, I think Equinox is the bee's knees and she's got great design. :)
