Tinker Bell or Tinker Bill?

Since there is much to be debated on the gender of this flying wonder, I will refer to Tink as It.
Here it is making the amazing trip from the top of Matterhorn Mountain, to her landing platform in fantasy land. There are all kinds of stories concerning the identity of tink. Some say that Tink is a definately a she and that she comes from a long line of women in a specific family that has dominated the role since the opening of the park. Others say that Tink is a man and that he would have to be in order to be heavy enough to pull it off physically. Some say that there are two different tinks, one is a robot and the other is a person. Perhaps the world will never know the truth.
This picture confirms that Tink was at one time, a woman. Since in most of the live presentations of Peter Pan, the boy who never wanted to grow up was played by a woman, it wouldn't be a problem to me if Tink was a man....
