No, I agree. It's simple (though not perfect) logic.
1. Dora looks like Marten.
2. Marten is not androgynous.
=> Dora is androgynous.
Not wholly, but yes, a little bit. Short hair, thin, smallish boobs, these are classic aspects of female androgyny.

When I first saw Dora in this comic, my first impression of her was androgyny. Obviously not as much as Tai, but still noticeable. Her short hair, small chest, clothes, stuff like that. I'm sure that it was an intentional choice on Jeph's part...I live near the area where this story takes place, and I see girls like Dora when I am in Northampton often. So I guess I might say that I have firsthand knowledge...lol.
Carl-E:
See, I always thought androgyny had to be more than just things like clothes and haircuts. Sure, you can mistake a lot of people for the opposite gender from a bit of a distance, but if you get close, they're clearly female (as was/is Dora) or male. To me androgyny needed a little bit more - standing near them, even on a second or third look, you're still getting mixed signals.
I think of Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria, or John Leguizamo in To Wong Foo thanks for everything, Julie Newmar. Or that episode of Bones, where a Japanese "kei" leaves everyone working there wondering what his/her gender is after a week of close collaboration. Angela finds out at the end by giving him/her a hug. The results were ... (click to show/hide)male. Things like that don't just pop up out of nowhere!
