To quote Ms. Sugar directly from her Twitter,

"Steven is the first and only male Gem, because he is half human! Technically, there are no female Gems! There are only Gems!"

Just because Gems are sexless does not mean they cannot enter intimate relationships with humans. We all know that Rose, a Gem, had the ability to procreate with Greg, a human. What we do not know is if this was because A: Rose had the ability to do so and was a special case or B: Rose was simply the first of her kind to actually want to procreate with a human. Finally, we also don't even know if the process of Steven's birth even involved sex at all, for all we know it might have just involved magic (which could explain how Gems are created on their own without genders).
