If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Ashenzari - I think of Ash as male.
Dithmenos - male, because most ninjas are portrayed as male
Ru - neuter. Ru is beyond our reality and thus very far from human
Vehumet - explosions and destruction, male

Ashenzari - I think of Ash as male. Ash is sometimes a male name, e.g. "Ash Williams."
Beogh - obsessed with blood and destruction, seems male
Chei - I think of Chei as female. The name "Chei" sounds feminine to me.
Dithmenos - male, because most ninjas are portrayed as male
Elyvilon - caring, healing female
Fedhas - neuter. Cares only about plants, so doesn't strike me as having any human qualities. Fedhas is a sentient plant.
Gozag - male greedy banker
Jiyva - neuter, because it's a formless jelly. No human qualities.
Kiku - evil and violent, male
Lugonu - "Lucy" is female.
Makhleb - evil and violent, male
Nemelex - most trickster gods are male, like Loki
Okawaru - heroic feats of violence, seems male
Qazlal - neuter. I think of Qazlal as like a sentient storm
Ru - neuter. Ru is beyond our reality and thus very far from human
Sif - female
Trog - rage and destruction, male
Vehumet - explosions and destruction, male
Xom - male, because Xom is a trickster like Nemelex
Yred - a neutered corpse. Yred is like the Jiyva or Fedhas of the grave. Yred opposes holy beings, "prefers corpses to be put to use," and hates "artificial beings" because they are not subject to death. These attributes make me think Yred genuinely cares for the well-being of the undead, and is their protector and advocate. This makes the most sense if Yred is undead.
Zin - strict rules, seems male
TSO - summons angels who seem feminine, I think TSO is female][/code]

This thread does, however, serve as a pretty good map to which stereotypes are embraced by which posters.

Well, duh? I assumed that was the point, since I don't know what other basis for a list could you use.

It's good that you're on the devteam now, so that you can bear the torch against whatever remains of such disastrous cultural and literary references crawl has.
