Logically God is without gender / sex characteristics.

Option a) God does not exist: what does not exist can have no gender / sex characteristics.

Option b) God Exists: God is the Creator, but God has no partner in creation. Hence God did not create via any intercourse between "him"self and a counterpart/complimentary other. Thus God has no need of gender identification to play a particular gender role; and God has no need of sex characteristics with which to engage in procreative activity; and God has no partner peer or equal with whom to engage in sexual activity for pleasure. God is both father and mother. Let's assume that the one claim for God engaging directly in procreation is true: God got Mary pregnant. However God did it by asexual means: Mary was a virgin before, during and (at least for a little while) after her pregnancy with Jesus. Thus God did not impregnate Mary by conventional sexual means but rather by miraculous means. A God who can make a woman pregnant need not be male or have any form of gender identification. So the one case to be made for God to be male doesn't actually stand up to scrutiny. There are no other instances in monotheistic religion of God playing any other procreative role with another person male or female so there's no evidence for God needing to be or directly revealing "Him"self to have a specific gender idenfication.

Simple really.
