Fairies are nature spirits, and, in that sense, similar to the classic dryads and other nymphs, which are all-female, so, I like to imagine them as all-female as well.

As for leprechauns, I just find it amusing to imagine them as all-male and counterparts to the winged females, but that's just me, I'm not claiming it's anything other than a personal headcanon, and, surely, I respect other interpretations as well.
