The only other bit of evidence is Stranger's appearance. He's scrawny and hornless. If he was female, why would the grubbs comment specifically on his scrawniness? Surely they recognise the differences between male and female steef when they see one.

The first real blow to the theory! We know they must have seen other Steef to compare stranger to, but we don't know whether or not they saw any females. Its probable that they did, since they remember a time before Sekto, and thus before Steef were hunted.
The only rebuttal I can offer is that the Grubbs are extremely forgetful, or young Steef males and females don't look different. Either way, it would have to be acceptable for male Steef to not have horns at some point, as I'm pretty sure the Grubbs treat Stranger like a male. And I still think Stranger probably is a male, and I still think the horns will play a part in a sequel (if there is one.) But it seems possible to me that Stranger could be female. We just don't know enough about Steef to be certain either way.
