Why is the holy spirit a spirit? Maybe a clue is found in the term, "Holy Spirit." :)
Spirits are not necessarily of neutral gender. For instance, when Jesus appeared to His disciples, they saw a man, and yet thought they had seen a spirit (Luke 24:37). So from their standpoint, they had no problem with a spirit looking like a male.
