I very much so like the fact that Stevonnie can be seen as both male and female.

I've watched the episode more than ten times. The first time believing Stevonnie was a girl. But after seeing the reactions of the fanbase, I've taken the liberty of trying to see Stevonnie as the opposite (male). I can confidently say that Stevonnie is indeed neither boy or girl. It's clear that this is done purposefully not to appeal to fans of multiple sexual orientation, or genders, but moreso because, how do you decide ultimately what gender to give a male and female fusion. Granted, all gems besides Steven has no gender, but it's clear that they are far more female than male in terms of voice, body, etc. So any fusion between them would automatically have the same role. Why Stevonnie plays the perfect role of both genders is rather simple.

As seen throughout the episode, it's clear that it's not a merged consciousness, though I'm sure they can at times be in synch enough to glide among one. Evident when they tell Kevin: "And it's Stevonnie. I am not your baby." The fact that they are not a merged consciousness is more than enough reason to make Stevonnie neither gender. Otherwise, they would have to either have one of them play a permanent dominant role, or have Stevonnie it's own personality.

Looks wise, you can look through the episode again. They literally did everything right with making it look like both gender. People are thrown off with the small clothes and hair, but Japanese Anime is quite infamous in creating "trap" characters. By that I mean, a character who can look either gender (for those who don't know). In the episode, it's clear that Stevonnie is beautiful, based on everyone's reactions, minus the gems. It's also obvious that Stevonnie is appealing to both genders, as seen with Lars' AND Sadie's reaction. Not to mention every person in the warehouse.

In short, Stevonnie can look both like a very beautiful girl. Or a very beautiful long haired boy. Either way, the character is perfect in design with hiding the gender. The face, body shape, personality, etc. Everything is perfectly balanced.

Stevonnie doesn't act particually girly, and it doesn't seem like it can easily be called a male either, so.

You know. Just my opinion on the matter. Hope that gives some insight, or even progress this debate. Moreso, I hope it convinces people to think of Stevonnie as both, or none rather than one side.
