>Is it explained whether Miko was a male or female pretending to be male?
It isn't. Her title translated as "Crown Prince" is seen as masculine but doesn't really have a female equivalent, so she probably would have used it even if she was openly female. It's not that uncommon.

And there's also the option that historians just changed the story, for which you can probably blame Hieda no Are.
