Sex	is a condition of the Body
Gender	is a condition of the Soul

Men	are spirits incarnated in a body, therefore have both
	gender of the soul, and sex of the body
God	is a spirit without a body as we know it, therefore has
	only gender, not sex as we know it.

Men	and the planet earth are of a physical reality of low dimension.
Spirits	exist in many dimensions.  God exists in the highest dimension.

Bodies	are mortal, and have sex.
Spirits	are eternal, and have gender.

God, as a discarnate spirit, has no sex to speak of.
When you die, you will cease to have sex.  Get it while you're here.
There will always be other incarnations in which to learn your lessons.
