And the point of Frisk's identity is that it can be either, depending on what the player wants it to be. Meaning that any claim of having "figured it out" is meaningless. Any claim or argument that Frisk is a boy has just as much merit as any claim or argument that Frisk is a girl.

Secondly, it just seems weird that both Frisk and Mettaton act as the opposite gender in the play. Way back when, all actors in a troupe were male. Which meant that men played all female roles as well as male roles. There are probably even instances today where men play female roles (and perhaps even vice versa).

It's even shown later in the Alphys date, if you choose to act as her and Alphys act as Undyne. She looks at you funny because you're making it more complicated than it needs to be.

Why would that make it more complicated, but Frisk acting as Undyne doesn't? In both cases, according to your argument, the thing making it complicated is Frisk acting as a girl, but that Alphys is only perplexed in one of those cases. The thing making it more complicated is the swap of the characters in general, with Alphys playing Undyne and Frisk playing Alphys. It says nothing about Frisk's gender.
