She was restraining everyone to get inside her head, because the girl in the pic, wasnt "her girlfriend", but it was herself. She took the apparience of the boyfriend to get into the academy.

She took the appearance of her brother, actually. That's who was in the pic.
Tommy... how's the peeping? share
It was kind of obvious, there was always going to be a girl.

If you go to retroblasting's channel on youtube about a year or so ago they alluded to this from the original 1984 series. Looks like the Netflix team fleshed it out.
shareC'mon, the original is very much to sell little boys toys. They knew their audience, just like the new show runners knew the Korra fans on Tumblr would go wild for gender swap Pidge.
sharePidge isn't genderswapped in this, she was genderswapped in the original. In the Japanese original, she was always female. Western dubbers changed this, as they thought that a little girl doing some of the things with the other team members that Pidge did would be too creepy/inappropriate.
shareActually, in the American translation, Pidge was gender ambiguous. The voice itself could have been perceived as either sex. They never had the character do anything that could be interpreted as typical behavior of either one.
sharePidge has always been a girl.
