Here's the problem with this approach. By hanging their 'Yin' and 'Yang' on the concept of genders, it's systemically going to be *weird*. Because they're going to play up all these weird witch tropes they can to differentiate her from Dr. Strange, but it's not like they're going to have Dr. Strange go "I can do this because I'm a dude, and I have a penis." Because that'd be weird, and probably sexist.

They're doing it to make her special, which is fine, she needs that, but instead of hanging it on her type of magic, it seems like they're hanging it on her gender, which is just clunky.

Maybe I'm judging it too harshly off one issue. Marvel's magic needs a clear set of guidelines, and I'm not sure this is shaping up to be it.
