The use of gender in Japanese self-addressing pronouns is bound by social norms and not grammar, so it's a little looser. Though some guys may use female pronouns (which is very rare, considering Japanese culture emphasises masculinity in men as a status symbol), it's usually teenage girls using the informal masculine boku to appear tomboyish. If there were to be an official translation of the above in Japanese, though, looking at the analogue to "my" would pretty much confirm whether or not Yone is male or female.
