Hmm okay. I don't like to associate angels with gender as well, but now that you note it's Jimmy POV the gender usage makes more sense. I think it was the sneaker scene that made me think of how Jimmy was talking about "he" when it was Claire's body.

It'd be hard to write scenes where you avoid gender assignation to the angels altogether. You might have to rely a lot on interactions on earth, and imply the technical inapplicability of gender to angels by having some characters be in both male and female vessels during the story. I dunno, the gender-neutral pronouns like "ze" just look odd to me in writing. :(
