Was Alexander Hamilton Stephens a woman? Confederate vice president, look at the pics I'd swear. weight was 96 lbs, no mention of kids, wife

I'm fairly new into civil war history,but when I notice things I cant help but question things that seem out of place.They don't speak much of him unless your looking and in finding you see a trend towards a softer sided confederate.as well as the pics.They state he had a suffered from a disease but he lived a full life for that time1812-83 women usually do.And I never see mention of wife,relationships,kids,Etc.I just wonder...Things that make you Hmm.

He has a long public career, being first elected to the legislature at age 24. There is no speculation about his gender in any writings about he Civil War that I have read.

He was imprisoned by the Union for 5 months, during which time any subterfuge like that would have been detected.
