Sort of. God hasn't got a body to be male or female with (that's
Catholic doctrine, I think - God is spiritual, not physical). While he
does have the position of "father", he doesn't need to sire children so
distictive sex is unnecesary. If it helps, I'm *sure* modern doctrine
says that angels are asexual.

Ummm... The Bible says that Adam was lonely and God gave him a friend
(Eve), IIRC. Besides, two sexes allows reproduction, that God does not
need but life on this reality does (since we're supposed to grow and
reproduce). This is doctrine, I think. (*Please* bear in mind I'm not a
student of the Bible. My words are to be listened to with extreme
caution).
I'll reserve my own opinion in the matter.
Hope that helps,
