You can have my lady Crab's backpack when you pry it from her cold, dead, robotic claws.

Personally, I always considered it as SoA were allowed to be either gender because of the same sort of uniqueness that made them feel they could be Destined Ones. Maybe they had powers to start with (thus why you can take Flying or similar powers) or the "conversion" effected them in an unexpected way. At any rate, I think their backstory is intended to be more complex than just the simple, average grunt that joins Recluse's army for the money and something to do.

So when Recluse divides up the babies, there's no rule that says he can't have one or two oddballs that seem to respond better to the other program. Or even that Fortunatas and Banes come to the program as adults, after their psychic talents have matured outside of the Arachnos system.
