Here's the quote:

 * Q: "I'm not trying to nitpick, because I am very happy with the gems and who they are, but is there any particular reason they use feminine pronouns if gender is irrelevant to them? I would understand if it were just more convenient."
 * A: "There's a 50 50 chance to use some pronoun on Earth, so why not feminine ones-- it's as convenient as it is arbitrary!"

That "50 50 chance" bit seems to be an awkward way of saying that, and historically, the English language has only had two polite, easy pronoun options, and if aliens who don't care about gender stuff land on Earth and start speaking English, they're probably going to pick either male or female pronouns, because the most convenient option is probably going to be "Let's all go with Option A.", "Let's all go with Option B." or "Let's just call ourselves whatever the humans call us.".
