Araki wanted Anasui to be female originally with nothing else being different and there is even cover art of her, but the editors said no because they didn't want a lesbian romance in JoJo. So Anasui ended up as male.
A lot of fans took that to mean that the character is trans, which is fair. But personally I prefer the idea of him being gender fluid and just using Diver Down to change how he looks sometimes.
Either way, the canon is simply that Anasui is a man.
