Where did you think the Easter Bunny got his eggs?

Pictured: G.U (with ovaries attached to her fallopian tubes) sits on a table next to a purple stuffed bunny holding an egg that says "Happy Easter." Background has a basket of candy; foreground has pink plastic grass with six died Easter eggs resting on it.

Why the frell is the Easter Bunny male?

The rabbit is supposed to be a symbol of fertility. But it doesn’t pass out sperm (unless I’m familiar with the wrong theology); it gives eggs. And this new movie Hop features a male EB. Since I would rather run myself over with my car than see it, I’ll have to rely on you people. Would the movie have sucked more with a female EB?

Edited to add: I'm pretty sure the character is not supposed to be a transgendered male.
