I might do more of these. If you want a certain theory on one, tell me in the comments please! :)

Eye theory makes no sense. When the Mane 6 transform they have round and almond shaped eyes.

Maybe Breezies are like the Dwarves in Discworld and you just can’t tell if one is male or female because they all look the same.

Eye theory is the most garanteed. Circular eyes - boy; almond-shaped eyes - girl

Someone already made a pitch-lowered video here.
 
Also, as Telaros pointed out in the comments here, the eye shape theory does still hold water. Seabreeze (along with the other suspected-male breezies) has near-circular eyes, whereas the closest the Mane 6 come is a slanted oval shape.

Actually, hair LENGTH might be an indication.
 
The manes of the mane 6 seem to be longer and flow in the wind more.

But then I assumed the pollen they had was how they made babies, so they’re probably all the same sex.
 
I don’t see anything in the transcript that suggests that, but if this is true then what you say would make sense.
 
Also, according to this Tweet, the one in the mushroom hat is named Breezette. We might want to check the credits.

Woah, interesting. I should. I can’t really do that though, as my computer’s sound doesn’t work right and I have no time to fix it. Maybe somebody else? :P

I think in order to tackle this problem, we need to first define what assets we are working with.
 
If memory serves me right, there are at least 8 Breezies whose genders are known. The unfortunate problem is that only one of them is definitely male, Seabreeze:

As for females, we have 7 to work with. If we assume Breezies follow the usual male-female set up, we can deduce that his wife is female:  
full
 
Lastly, if we assume that all the transformation spell that Twilight cast did was change races, we can deduce that their Breezie forms reflect their pony genders:

These were the best images I could find on DB. I’m too lazy to take my own right now.  
(Note: We are just going to say that the mane 6 are female. Fyay your crazy headcanons.)
 
From here, we can figure out genders. The main problem is that we have a very limited pool of males to use for comparison (1).
 
The eye theory falls flat as Rarity clearly has the “male” eyeshape (NO. NO. WE ARE NOT GOING TO EVEN SUGGEST THAT SHE’S MALE. EVEN THOUGH SHE WEARS FALSE EYELASHES… Wait… … NO. GO BACK UP AND READ WHAT I SAID. Fyay YOUR CRAZY HEADCANONS!)
 
Straight hair vs curly doesn’t work as the mane 6 have both straight and curly hair.
 
As far as we can tell, the antenna theory does seem to work. The mane 6 has the same color antennae as their bodies, signifying they are girls. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough data about males to confirm this.
 
There’s another theory that is based off the fact that Seabreeze has slightly thicker legs than his wife. This could work, but, again, we would need a bigger pool of males to work with to be sure.
 
 
There is one last thing we could try doing: sound editing.
 
Lower the pitch of the breezie mane 6 until it sounds normal, then use that as a baseline to modify other voices to see if they sound male or female. I would suggest checking Seabreeze first to see if this method would work.

I can’t see a difference between the eyes or antenna. But then I assumed the pollen they had was how they made babies, so they’re probably all the same sex.

Theory #3: They’re hermaphrodites. But I’m also going to go along with the “don’t really care” opinion first and foremost.

I have a feeling that I’ll continue to not give any fucks about the gender of 1-time-appearance creatures in a cartoon.
