All pawn are actually female, because at most, they can only ever be Queens.
You can actually promote a pawn to any other piece as well (rook, bishop, knight, etc.), this is known as underpromotion. It's mostly a "why would you ever do that?" thing, though.
There are some situations where promoting to a Queen would result in a stalemate
That's why they said "at most"
The newest research on this topic found out that the "pawn" is actually hermaphrodite.
