Ginshu is actually asexual, but is referred to as a Princess anyway. It is revealed that Ginshu is actually not the real High Priestess, but a decoy to protect the real High Priestess, Shinshu. He possesses "poison blood"; to demons, so when they try to eat him, they die. Before he was cursed with his ageless and genderless body, he was, in fact, male. Because of the shrine's tradition, he was dressed and referred to as though he were female.
