I really dont think its necessary for Ishida to turn Kaneki into a girl to have him end up with Hide. If he wanted he could do that with Kaneki as a boy as well. If Hide doesnt care abt him being human or human-eater i doubt hed be repelled depending on Kanekis gender.

Just the same does Kaneki not have to stay a boy to end up with Touka. Im sure Touka doesnt care which gender her partner would have as long as shes in love with them. (at least she had no qualms abt suggesting Yomo should just try to accept Nicos flirting and date him - Nicos gender is still quite ambigeous the only thing im sure of is that Nico was born in a male body).
