I agree. One of the most thought-provoking things about the Fool is that, to Him/Her gender appears to be irrelevant. The Fool changes gender as easily as he/she changes name and social status. Perhaps the message here is that we tend to attach too much importance to gender. Fitz certainly emerges looking pretty ignorant when he makes a big deal of the issue!
