Naoko Takeuchi has clearly stated that all sailor senshi are female. Also, Tuxedo Kamen is not a sailor senshi but a guardian for Earth, which explains why he can be male.
The sailor starlights are female. They took male forms when they came to earth.
Even their princess was surprised when she saw that they had taken male forms.
At that point Seiya Kou said that "it is more appropriate for a man to be searching for a princess".
As far as I know, the starlights never became male in the manga, only in the anime, and Naoko Takeuchi was fairly dissapointed by the animators decision.
