Did you realize he wasn't when they stripped him off and washed him in the innyard? I feel like that would have exposed SEVERAL things if he was, in fact, a girl.
To be honest, I suspect that a lot of the twists in the political maneuvering go over my head even after however many readthroughs - not in The Thief, because the political maneuvering quotient is fairly low, but in the later books where there's a lot more of it. I read these books kind of like how I read murder mysteries, I think - I'm interested in the character dynamics, and if I ALSO pick up some of the clever plotting that's great, but if it goes over my head then such is life.
