Enjoy the character the way you see fit and allow others to do the same. 14 On the left side of his body is the mark of the 'noble beast', which he was branded. 13 As described by his tailor, Nina Hopkins, Ciel has a well-proportioned body: His arms and legs are thin, his shoulders slim, and his waist narrow.

Yana Toboso herself uses male and neutral pronouns for Grell and she and Grell both have used the word 'okama' in reference to Grell in her art and blog posts, suggesting Grell's personal pronoun use and talk of being a lady are actually onee-kotoba, which is a dialect used by effeminate gay men and drag queens.

The most common arguement for the use of female pronouns for Grell is the character interview. Yana Toboso hasn't publicly said anything one way or another.
