It’s already happened actually - though not highlighted, it’s explained in the lore book that the sylphs (being plant-based) don’t really have male/female genders, although have their own ‘genders’ of “everblooming” (labeled ‘male’ by other races and referred to with those pronouns, but producing both seed and pollen, equivalent to being female and male together) and “lateblooming” (‘female’ but not really by scientific definition, can’t produce seeds).

And of course it shows up in their genderless-pronoun speaking patterns of “this one” and “that one”.

Additionally the two times we’ve seen sylphs take ‘human form’, they go opposite to their nominal genders - Noraxia briefly appears as a (very gender-neutral) male Hyur if you detour into the main hall of the Waking Sands at one point; and Silbexio from the beast tribe questline who appears as female.
