Come on people! Anybody who actually thinks this character is a female, must be insane. Nothing about his personality is remotely female, while his physical features can easily be explained. He has no horns because he shaved them down, so not to be detected, and his legs are scrawny because he kept them compacted in his boots. Making the character female would take away all the characters charisma, considering Steef would just be plain silly/creepy. I'm sure there must be better theories out there!

Personality is an aspect of gender, not sex. We don't know what kind of gender roles are given in a steef society. Besides, I think Stranger being a female wouldn't necessarily be silly or creepy. I'm not sure I even know what you mean by the last part of the post. How does Stranger turning out to be female take away charisma? If Lorne wanted audiences to get involved with a character and find out that its nothing like what they thought it was having it be female wouldn't be a bad shock.
The fact that Stranger was supposed to have horns indicates it was probably supposed to be male, as most horned mammals leave the horns to the male adults. I thought his lack of horns would provide material for a sequel, but hey, maybe it will simply mean he's a she.
Dipstikk, Lorne has given out information in the past that failed to be accurate after revision. Its no biggy. Sometimes it seems to fit the story better if certain things are altered. It doesn't necessarily fall under lying.
I'd really prefer for this topic not to be overwhelmed by people complaining about their masculinity being threatened or how silly it would be for Stranger to be female. Its a possibility. If it upsets you, find some evidence that proves otherwise. And keep in mind that Stranger--not being human--doesn't have to fit human gender standards or sex standards. I'm pretty sure a lioness has a fairly deep roar, why couldn't steef all have naturally deep voices?
