I don't know that Pagan, mostly northern-european folklore and myth can be retroactively assigned a side into what's possibly the most artificial and senseless debate of 2020.
While pixies, elves and many other beings that can be considered spirits, or manifestations of nature are neither male nor female, they most certainly aren't "non-binary".
Mostly the distinction in the myth was made because the most human feature was being multigenerational spirits (as in, same spirits that lives through progeny- that's what Halloween is for btw) while nature's spirits are simply immortal and thus don't require sexual characteristic as they don't need to make children to keep their spirit alive.
By extension I don't know that artists and storytellers can be boxed into one side or the other just because they take inspiration from those myths.

I've been called ungracious names when I explained this to someone else before, so just to make things clear : you can do what you want as far as I'm concerned, but please stop with the projection.
Not everything is about new-age gender politics for the 1%.
