Yes, that's why she's called the Gendered Child. She's the Gendered Child because she wasn't "made" like the vessels were made. She was directly birthed. Because... Y'know. The Pale King knocked Herrah up and she laid her egg normally.

Seriously, the Vornet thing has been so thoroughly torn to shreds with evidence both implicit (Midwife's name and what she does, Hornet having emotions and mourning her mother unlike generally-emotionless vessels) and practically explicit (The White Lady described Hornet as being "birthed" and not "created", describing Herrah and the PK's union as a dalliance - and arguing against the meaning of that word is ignoring the context of how it's used in the dialogue). The only people who still argue against this nowadays are either hipsters trying to argue against what's the commonly accepted norm (See OP's jab against mossbag), or trolls who like riling up the crowd. As a theory it barely holds much more merit than the "Knight is the Pale King" theory, and that's only if you deliberately take things out of context... Which I guess actually removes merit from the theory.
