The real Ruja Ignatova is a she, as confirmed by Wikipedia. However, there is a plot twist to this story; Ruja Ignatova is actually a pseudonym used by both a man and a woman. The man behind the pseudonym is believed to be Konstantin Ignatov, while the woman is believed to be his sister, Ruja Ignatova. As such, when referring to Ruja Ignatova, it is best to use gender-neutral pronouns such as "they" or "them" rather than using specific gender pronouns such as "he" or "she".
