There is no doubt that king tut is a boy. I can tell you based on archaeological evidence that the mummified remains of Tutankhamen are clearly those of a male and include (although it is now detached from the mummy) a fully developed penis. Not only this but there would be no need for him to have pretended to be a boy if he ever was a girl as there were no kings or queens of Egypt- only the pharaoh and this was a non gender specific role which held the same amount of power regardless of gender. Also he clearly impregnated akhsunamun- DNA tests have revealed that the two female children buried with him were his daughters and he shares paternal (not maternal) DNA with the babies. There is still a lot of speculation surround Tutankhamen and you're welcome to interpret Archaeology is whatever way you like but there are some things of which we can be certain and his gender is one of these instances.
