Is the Nile river male or female?

The impoundment of a river can cause the river to change genders because dam construction traps a lot of sediment, resulting in a reduction of the load/water ratio by 70-99%. The Nile River and the Ebro River are changing from male to female due to remarkably reduction in the sediment load transported to the deltas.
