The gender link between WoL and Azem is irrelevant because the story does not change based on your gender. You posited two situations where one precludes Themis from being Azem based on Azem's gender while the other situation where Azem is female allowed it. That is what is not possible. If one situation for the gender of Azem wouldn't allow for the result you posit, then the result is not possible because that would be changing the story circumstances. And the only thing that our gender changes is how people refer to us. The story is gender neutral, so any theory that would depend on a certain gender is not possible.
