Yes, "Leah" is a feminine name in German (and English).

To resolve this problem, other than your update, Robert told me not to delete any posts over this. So I won't. However, we do prefer that to refer to one you should use the names and gendered pronouns of one's choice.

As to the "gender identity problem" or "just gender dysphoria" I don't think you should only refer to people as they want if they changed their legal records. Albeit, starting on 2024-11-01 it will get easier to change your legal given name(s) as a German citizen who is transgender. (And it may be illegal in Germany to refer to someone with a legally obsolete name, but I don't think this should be your only consideration.)
