According to the Winnie-the-Pooh FAQ, "...every character
                                      in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner are boys
                                      except Kanga. There are references to other female
                                      characters, namely some of Rabbit's friends and relations, but
                                      none of them have any speaking parts." 
                                      Interestingly enough, the original bear that inspired the fictional
                                      character was female. During World War I, a Canadian
                                      lieutenant named Harry Colebourne was on his way to Europe
                                      when he bought a female black bear cub whose mother had
                                      been killed by a hunter. He named her Winnipeg (Winnie for
                                      short), after his hometown. 
                                      The cub accompanied the unit to Britain and became the
                                      brigade's mascot. When Colebourne was sent to France, he
                                      gave Winnie to the London Zoo. It was here that Christopher
                                      Robin Milne, son of author A.A. Milne, met and fell in love with
                                      the bear. He visited her often at the zoo and renamed his teddy
                                      bear (a male originally named Edward Bear) Winnie-the-Pooh.
                                      (The "Pooh" part was the name of a real swan). Inspired by his
                                      son's beloved stuffed animals, A.A. Milne wrote
                                      Winnie-the-Pooh, which was published in 1926. Walt Disney
                                      later bought the rights to the book and made several animated
                                      short films. 
                                      The first chapter of the book clearly establishes Pooh's gender.
                                      Milne wrote: 
                                           When I first heard his name, I said, just as you are
                                           going to say, "But I thought he was a boy?" 
                                           "So did I," said Christopher Robin. 
                                           "Then you can't call him Winnie?" 
                                           "I don't." 
                                           "But you said---" 
                                           "He's Winnie-ther-Pooh. Don't you know what
                                           'ther' means?" 
                                           "Ah, yes, now I do," I said quickly; and I hope you
                                           do too, because it is all the ex
