Well Rose Quartz gave birth; the process wasn't exactly similar to humans, but the fact that she gave birth indicates clearly to me at least that the Gems are girls. While the Gems consider themselves genderless, they're all clearly female with the exception of Jasper...who is still a woman, just a really buff one.
But they've stated repeatedly that Steven's "birth" was a metamorphosis. It's not gone into detail, but they've also made it clear that it wasn't a natural thing. Steven's the first of his kind. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: It's why Jasper wanted to take him to the gem homeworld.
Speaking of that, [SPOILER - highlight to read]: anyone else curious what Yellow Diamond must be like?

This show has really come into its own somewhat recently. It was an all right watch before, but the fleshing out of the myth arc and the Gem homeworld has made it great. I need to get fully caught up.
The mystery of the Gems and their lore are what got interested in the first place. If you go in expecting a piecemeal progression like early Adventure Time, then you won't be frustrated as episodes don't answer questions. I first saw Steven as some basic, traditionally stupid child character. Now I know he's anything but, and I like that. A lot. Still a child, but definitely his own, individual person.

I hate Uncle Grandpa. But he and Mr. Gus dropped some real wisdom, plus they acknowledged the fan base with the gemsonas and the Gems freaking was hilarious.
Steven playing level headed straight man for a change was gold.
Want to see a crossover with every show on the list. Especially Swat Cats and Adventure Time (Mostly for Uncle Grandpa vs Magic Man. Come to think of it, Finn would probably assume UG IS Magic Man in disguise.)

Episode's got a new intro, and it looks like things are starting to kick into high gear. Connie trains with Pearl, Greg meets Stevonnie, and we see more of Rose Quartz, including a new fusion! Great stuff, really.

Pearl is really starting to concern me. She's losing the ability to differentiate Steven from his mom and she's done/let some really f*cked up stuff happen.
She's getting better imo. All the gems were traumatized by Rose's passing, that takes a long time to get passed. She's certain the most damaged of the gems though.
She's better in some ways, worse in others. It's kinda like one step forward = two steps back. But her being upset is no excuse for what she did before or after Rose's death due to her Larfleeze-esque level of jealousy regarding her. Garnet and Amethyst were shaken up as well, but they soldiered on and they do right by Steven. Pearl on the other hand has shown herself to be petty, jealous, and all sorts of other unhealthy emotions when it comes to any mention or thought of Rose.
She basically f*cked/fused Rose just to show off to Greg about what he couldn't do with her or for her. She told Rose several times he was no good, not good enough for her because he was taking Rose's attention.
She was brainwashing Connie into thinking she was simply a tool to be used in Steven's defense.
She allowed Steven to die. Sounds weird, but that episode where she found out he basically had full access to his mothers armory, she freaked out. And when he chased her, making a jump he had no business making, she knew he could have died and she just sat there while he scrambled up those roots to save his own life.
Even way back when she was so determined to get back to Home World she kinda forced him into space with her in a ship that would have killed him.
She's also been pretty mean to him at times, like telling him he didn't even know Rose and stuff like that.
From the beginning Rose is Steven's main "Mom", yet also the one who treats him the worst and allows bad things to happen because she misses Rose and he reminds her of what she lost. She was closest to Rose, I get that. But she needs serious help. I see her snapping one of these days and either trying to hurt Steven, letting someone try and hurt him, or delusionally thinking of him as his mom and trying to grope him up or something.
