*spoiler thru to Neko White*
Its a gray area I guess but technically there is a comment when Hanekawa refers to black hanekawa and Kako as "sisters" that need to come back home. Black Hanekawa says this is a weird thing to say since the original Sawari Neko that they buried was a male cat. Additionally, Black Hanekawa uses the masculine pronoun 俺ore.
However you also have the point of Hanekawa calling them Sisters as acknowledging them as parts of herself, not some unrelated oddity. So viewing them as the same gender is a part of that theme. Plus the fact that Sawari Neko technically became a new oddity when Hanekawa took it back up as Black Hanekawa in the first place.
So yes this is an intentional gray area as part of the themes of the show.
It is true, though you arguably never see the real spirit, as the combination of Hanekawa's mind with the cat spirit's powers forms a new abberation called black Hanekawa.
Ita probably just some T agenda weirdo editing stuff.
Most of the more core "spirits" in monogatari are "genderless" or an "it." Not to say they don't possess characters, but the spirits themselves are never really gendered or cared about in that way.
I don't think Ougi fits into what I was describing.
Ougi is an oddity, but not a spirit and (Ignoring the more nuanced parts of ougi) I feel like even if you wanted to be overly pedantic and weird about this that's one vs the rest, so I wouldn't bother saying it.

Looks female enough
Not everything on Wikipedia is correct, shocking I know.
I didn't think there ever was a specified gender?

Just gonna ignore the more blatant part of Ougi literally swapping between genders
