Well envy is a guy. Hes only transformed into a woman about....... 3 or 4 times.(Ross, hughes's wife, and I think hawkeye once I really don't remember that much) Hes just really hard to.............. what's the word........... predict. Yeah thats a good word for it. He's kinda like crona. (Soul Eater fans here will get what I mean by that reference) He looks like a girl but he is a guy. (Although in the manga crona IS a girl.) Other than that. Envy is a guy and wtf I can't stop looking at Messiah's profile picture. XD
There's no such thing as a painless lesson...they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary...you can't gain anything without losing something first. Although...if you can endure that pain, and walk away from it...you will find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle.....yeah...a heart made fullmetal. -edward elric
he is envy, the personification of envy. he is a man, an ugly man, so he makes himself into beautiful women because now he has the power to become what he most wants to be. he envys beautiful women.
Simply put, Envy is the trap of FMA. True, he can shift his appearance. After all, he was the one who started the war between Scar's homeland and the Fuhrer's Army. Originally, Envy is a guy. Like Holmes said, as one of the sins, he envy others... well, because he is simply Envy. Created by their father to be jealous. Edward Elric's seiyuu is a girl too actually, in Japanese dub.
Trap: male charas that looks like a girl. They are full of moe and... cute when they crossdress... at times.
Reverse Trap: female charas that looks like a boy. They are also full of moe (example is Haruhi from Ouran)... handsome when they crossdress... almost always... and refers to them in a masculine tone in Japanese language such as 'Ore' instead of 'Watashi'.

Every anime has that one person who's gender you can't be sure about. Envy is that one character. Look's like a dude wearing a skirt, sounds like a woman. Just embrace it! And in the manga Envy is referred to as a he.
Wow, you really have a lid on this thing. What's your secret? Mellow jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed? - Tony Stark, The Avengers
Yes what Awesomer than prussia said. Embrase the characters for who they are!
