Is the Moon Male, Female Or Both

The purpose of gender is balance and procreation.
One moon is enough for us.
Our precious moon 
Has a differing purpose.

The moon reflects the sunlight
During late, dark nights.
It ensures we never find
Ourselves without light.

The moon is known as
The faithful witness in the skies.
Some mention the man in the moon.
This comes as no surprise...

His logic in the way he moves the sea;
When we stargaze, we see his face.
We imagine him whistling lullabies
While smiling down at the human race.

Others may call her female
As she glitters, shimmers and shines.
She is our ultimate gemstone.
Her beauty is sublime!

However, I have to admit,
I'm one to swim against the tide.
The moon is neither gender.
It has no masculine or feminine side.
