When it comes to Daedric Depiction, Bethesda is usually consistent with what the Daedra is supposed to be. Boethia, on the other hand, is called him AND her throughout the franchise. Oblivion, she's a man. Skyrim, He's a woman...

I guess the better question is will Bethesda make up their mind and settle on one Gender Depiction for Boethiah? You assume Bethesda didn't do this intentionally? Perhaps the reason why they switched the gender from male in Oblivion to female in Skyrim, was to remind the player that Daedra don't have a specific gender, and that it can changes based not only on the Prince's mood or plot, but also based on the cultural area that perceives them. Perhaps the Cyrodiilic view of Boethia is masculine, while the Skyrim view is feminine.
