Gender labels on trainer badges in Pokémon Go

Gender labels on trainer badges in Pokémon Go - Cheerful black man with vitiligo skin laughing and drinking coffee with androgynous black man with afro braids against gray background

The badges that appear in Pokémon Go – "Jogger", "Kanto", "Collector", &c. – have gendered labels for some of them, notably (on my account) "Battle Girl", "Punk Girl" and "Fairy Tale Girl".

Does everyone get "Girl", or does the game give some people "Boy" or similar instead? If different people get different things, does anyone know how the game decides?

I don't object at all, I'm just mildly surprised given I selected the more masculine-looking avatar and the only gender I've had associated with my Google account is male.
