Yoshi: Boy or Girl?

I was on TV Tropes, by the way a very fun site to read, reading a trope about characters with gender confusions, and not long ago my friends and were talking about if Yoshi is a bor or girl. This is what I found:

"•Yoshi in Super Mario Bros — "she" laid eggs for crying out loud. It really doesn't help that "Yoshi" is used to refer to either one individual or his entire species.
◦Fan Wank often involves thinking of the "eggs" as more like poop, given the method of their production. Apparently Yoshis learned their combat techniques from monkeys.
Word Of God says male Yoshis lay exploding eggs used for combat, females lay actual eggs, and the Yoshi usually seen with Mario and friends is in fact male.
Conflicting evidence comes from Japanese text from a Super Smash Bros. trophy, claiming that Yoshis all have no gender." (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ViewerGenderConfusion)

This is all very confusing! @_@
