And Astolfo might as well be a girl with a dick. You do know that there are such type of girls in hentai called "futanari", right? Astolfo is blatantly designed & catered to people who like futanari (or to people who not yet realized that they like such things in anime). That's another "gross genderbent fanservice" for me. And you already mentioned Frankenstein-girl and Mordred-gal, so I don't have to repeat it.

Now, you can go to great length defending such artistic choices by delving into the lore to hell and back, but it doesn't change the fact that fanservice is the ultimate motivation & goal of such genderbent in the Fate franchise (in this case, Apoc).
We don't even know if Jack the Ripper was a guy so it's not exactly genderbending. Her outfit makes sense considering she's a wraith born from the amalgamation of prostitute babies drowned in the Thames.
