Hi Nancy,
Light itself is neither male or female, but all energy or light has both transmission and reception. Like polarities, transmission is often translated at a human mind level as male, and reception as female. While our perceived physical form may be either male or female, at deeper levels in consciousness (or at the soul level) we are all both male and female.
It is truly very rare for someone to be able to work with both polarities of the light. When one has really reached this stage one is able to do shaktipat, silence minds, feel others emotional pain as flows of energy and help ease the pain and the obstruction.
An example of reaching this stage is described in the Mahayama lineage as the 4th Bhumi.
(4. Radiant): This bhūmi is called "radiant", because it is said to be like a radiating light that fully burns that which opposes enlightenment. The emphasized perfection is vigor (vīrya).
Again at this level light is flowing through the chakras affecting no just yourself but those around you.
