It wouldn’t change my story and seems to be easy to explain what happened.
What do you think?

My first thought would be that it's not good to change something that happened just to make the story read better. But perhaps those who read your blog don't read these forums and won't know of any difference.

‘Her reasoning was this: My mother saw a fortuneteller on the street. The fortuneteller said to my mother “You must have a daughter and she must be like a boy.” He told my mother that he could see a spirit of my mother’s baby who had died before birth. The baby was a boy and it must be with my mother’s daughter. That was because my mother’s daughter who meant me was like a boy.’

Excellent. That revision means you can refer to the fortuneteller as female and not have any confusion. Good work!
