@Antarctic Termite has a good memory
The thing to remember here is that the djinn don't sexually reproduce so there isn't a clear distinction between 'male' and 'female'. With some effort the ones powerful enough to speak could also change the appearance of their physical form, so not even looks would be much of an indicator.
Basically, whichever pronoun (he/she) you use depends on their personality. Here's a relevant snippet from Zephyrion character sheet that's applicable for the elementals as well:
Such a distinction is meaningless and cannot describe a being like Zephyrion, whose nature is akin to the eddies and gales that the god controls. The wind is tumultuous, wild, and chaotic. At times it can bring rain that nourishes and heals, but at other times it is the dauntless force that uproots mountains and scatters them like pebbles upon the wind. It is strong, wild, and uncontrollable. Some might make of it a motherly and nurturing force, but for most, it is a crueler thing and more fit to describe as masculine.
Zephyrion is my favorite gender: anti-girl, the opposite of being female.

thegassyfeminist.tumblr.comLegit though, genders to gods should be redundant, Lifprasil isn't even masculine or feminine, just kind of... Both. I've tried to keep an equivocal amount of either in the way he talks, which tends to make him a very plain person. However, his role as an emperor will often lead him upon being... Not feminine. I think we have plenty of women to spare in his presence now, though, so not much of a loss to the strong female characters quota.

EDIT: If the Pronobii thing takes off, I'll try to add more masculine characters due to the very large amount of females. 'Sides, I wanna play a big MANLY ICE MAN. With a sword of TESTOSTERONIOS
