Is boots a boy or a girl?

Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice the mention of "boots" in the conversation. Now, I'm curious to know, is "boots" being referred to as a male or a female entity? I'm asking purely out of curiosity, as it seems to be an unusual question in the context of our discussion on cryptocurrency and finance. Nonetheless, I'm always eager to learn new things, so if there's a particular reason behind this inquiry, I'd be more than happy to hear it.
