(EW Spoilers) Tales from the Dawn #5 - Days Gone By, Days Yet to Come

This has nothing to do with trans.

Female Artemis was a biological Ancient and the dialogue in the short story uses female pronouns. Male Artemis (Eden) uses male pronouns and is a sundered biological Hyur of a completely different birth name who happened to reincarnate on one of the shards with Artemis's soul and had Artemis's memories awakened by the Convocation Crystal given to him by an Unsundered. Rememeber, it's been 12,000 years since the Sundering and there have been potentially hundreds of people on each shard, both males and females, who have been born, lived, and died with Artemis's soul. Only one at a time was acting as the Ascian "Mitron", and one of them was the one we meet in Eden (dark-skinned, blond-haired male). Emet said he had to replace the Sundered over the years as they fell, so we don't know if Eden's Mitron is the first ever shard of Artemis or the 83rd Reincarnation of Artemis on The Eleventh. Moreover, your WoL can be created as either a male or female, yet Ardbert is always a male. Therefore, souls are not sex-linked and can reincarnate as either male or female bodies.

Also, important to note that the Convocation crystals do not restore all memories to the individual. The Convocation Crystals were created by the 3 Unsundered after the final days and contained THEIR memories of the Convocation. They are biographical, not autobiographical, thus the details of the lives the convocation lived are somewhat vague and limiting. It would be like if you were reincarnated with amnesia and your best friend restored your memories using THEIR memories of you, which leaves out any memories you never shared with them, your internal thoughts, etc.
