He in lore, He in name in game, She on wiki, Androgynous in game?
Seriously whats up with that, isnt being sylvari confusing enough already, now they can visually swap between genders too (for those that dont know he/she is standing in for Evon in the Trading Post/BLC corp and was in a funny short story that seems to be taken down from the official site, but can still be found here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mr._Sparkles,_A_Tale_of_the_Asura.

When life gives you lemon, ask if its from a anime or manga.

I mean the sylvari don’t reproduce so they have no need for much sexual dimorphism. Their genders are only aesthetic, really. It seems part of the reason why sylvari seem to lack a “sexual orientation” as such. I would think it would not be out of place for some sylvari to switch and blur genders.

(Though tbh it’s probably the case that Sareb’s canon gender just got swapped by the developers accidentally or for some small reason between that story, which was written IIRC very early in development and release.)

Yes, thats why i said why are they getting more confusing, it does make sense within the setup, but god knows what that then means to not only all the implied banter between a lot of female and male sylvari (and a lot of possible fanfics), but like doesnt that make the PC sylvari freaks? Unable to swap “gender” without a genetic reformation kit (that you buy from said sylvari).

Guessed that much, but with the name and the fact above (about sylvari gender not really being relevant), it makes no sense.
