Is Kyros really a woman?

No, he/she/xir is an SJW charicature.

It doesnt have a gender at this point as different characters say different things.
Kyros as well might be not human or hermoprodite,

[Glokenpop]

Kyros might be a polymorph. She just changes her form at will and might have even visited our char in the game (PLOT TWIST).

She is a transvestite. So people always get confused, how to call him.

In reality -- Kyros probably has a gender, either male or female. However, Kyros has made the conscious effort to remove any references to Kyros' gender because that's a humanizing factor, and Kyros doesn't want people to think Kyros is a mortal human. It's actually some pretty cool psychology.

[Floogy]

In a conversation, there were two nearly identical options that let me refer to Kyros as either he or she. When I chose she, Sirin actually corrected me and said "he".

In an earlier conversation with Sirin she did say she knew, but decided to keep it as her secret when I tried to press her for details.

Though who knows whether she's just messing with me or not. I should've tried reloading and referring to Kyros as he, see if Sirin tries to "correct" me again...

If you max out relationship with Sirin,and piss off Tunon you can coerce certain things about Kyros. It seems as though the overlord is both male and female or has in someway ascended past that being relevant. Sirin and Tunon both having met her/him and from what I understand is the overlord can choose whatever gender may benefit it? It's hard to explain but the game gives the impression either Kyros may have spread misinformation about her/his gender. But its still up in the air as it was specifically left open by Obsidian I assume because it will play a role in later DLC or the next game.

The game wont tell you Kyros Gender.

Maybe his/her apparence changed much, so you cant tell it anymore (like Tunnon, the Mask seems male, but i coult be a female)

At the first conservation, Eb ask you about Kyros Gender. You could say Kyros is Mother and Father of the contry - wich is a very commun point of view.

I like it, it makes Kyros more mysterious.

[Yunocchi]

I remember one small part in a dialogue with Sirin, we could tell her :

"I have no idea but I know from a reliable source that the imperial harem was well stocked, with both men and woman" (Or was it male and female ?)

Either way, it tells us at least that Kyros is not above the pleasures of the flesh.

I think that was the idea Lol

A big thing in the game is that Archons, and beings of power in general, take on the form that the general public seems to take of them. That magic in the world is actually not as powerful as aggregate emotions. I think Kyros is both male and female, depending on some kind of cycling power structure or something. That, or Obsidian intend to have you PLAY as Kyros some day in the future, and you'll be the one to decide Kyros' gender then.

[OnlyOffensive]

I think Kyros is female, because there is one interesting dialogue with Sirin, where you can pick 2 different answers with other NPC, one states that Kyros male, other female, and when you pick female Sirin intervene and saying it is "He", but you can insist that it is "she", and she do it in a way like she's scared you know the truth ( previosly she laughed that you didn't know it ) and in last chapter dialogues with Tunon when you submit him he only reference to Kyros as female.

I also think that vision at main spire in the start of 3d act refers to young Kyros who learning about edicts. It is pretty obvious from the game that Kyros got power of edicts from that spire or similar and my teory is that whole invasion was a plot to put new power to war against, since there is no conflict left in a world. Or otherwise destroy the spire, because overlord forbiden from entry in spire, in both cases Voices of Nerat was tasked with starting chaos and didn't really die in the end.

Gonna be honest, I'd give huge props to Obsidian in that case -- it's always nice to see a company planning future games so they don't have to come up with a contrived reason to make a sequel. "But, um, then... A BIGGER DRAGON ATTACKED! OH NO! Will the great hero DragonStabber stab this dragon? Find out in DragonStabber2: Even More Stabbing"

[Teeber]

i think Kyros may be player character...
