Everyone is using their appearances as what their gender is, and that's not a solid way to know someone's gender. I don't remember if I've posted here or not, but I'm agender, meaning I'm neither a boy or a girl, sometimes I look more feminine and sometimes I look more masculine, but that never makes me a boy or girl. Physically, I am a female, and when I was younger, before I knew what agender was and identified as it, I thought I was a girl, but I dressed in a way that if my hair wasn't long, you would think I was either a boy or a girl.

For Chara and Frisk, unless a character in game states they are male or female, definitively, they aren't one or the other. (They aren't even nonbinary if it's not stated) and it's up to personal interpretation. If you see Chara as a boy, you're valid. If you see Frisk as a boy, you're valid. If you see either of them as girls, you're valid. If you see either of them as nonbinary, you're valid. There is no right answer unless it is stated in game or by Toby Fox.

As many are saying, they see Chara and Frisk as what they are, and that's so valid and wonderful and honestly, I think that was clever of Toby to do. Personally, I see them both as nonbinary but that's because I'm nonbinary and like projecting myself on them. Plus it's nice having a game where not everyone is straight and cis. But if you want to see them as straight and cis, you're valid. If you want to see them as lgbt, you're valid. Just don't be pushing your view on others. :D
