The artist has confirmed it, but the character himself is too humble and soft spoken to actually say anything about considering themselves a mare. Alaska has, but she's an unreliable narrator, who thinks they're in a gay relationship. One might imagine it'd also be a surprise to Nine that everyone thinks he's a "her."

Ostensibly it's just a coal miner who happens to have a penis. (And also died. (Maybe.)) I don't think Number Nine has ever claimed to be a woman. It's just sort of implied by the artist giving them a "womanly" appearance.

Thus why this comic is unintentionally hilarious.
