The issue.
The reason why most people think that Haku was a boy is because she was referred to as a male by almost every character connected to her (be it through comradeship or through rivalry). The foremost reason however is because people think Haku referred to herself as a male. While many fans simply accept this at face value and move on, there is actually much more evidence to suggest that Haku was actually a female.
Why is there even an argument?
Meaning, aren’t all of the references to Haku being a male undeniable proof that she was one? The answer is clearly NO, because this issue is not so cut and dry as one might think. First, let’s take a look at why people think Haku was a boy. The main, and perhaps only reason is because of the references to her being male. That is it. Haku looks nothing like a boy. In fact, Haku is described by the main character to be more beautiful than Sakura, the series’ flagship heroine. Therefore, if we can prove that there is a possibility that those references to her being male are inaccurate, the theory SHOULD become less likely to open minded Hakubuki.
(One of the other more important reasons is because some people think that Kishimoto, the creator of the series, said that Haku was a boy. This is completely FALSE. No statement has ever been made or found to be cited as a reference.)
Before we question the Hakubuki however, we must ask ourselves what would prove one theory or the other to be correct.
