Some people say the supreme being is male, some say it is female.
Some call it Goddess, some call it God.
Of course this all pre-supposes one exists in the first place, but that aside, what do you think?
Does God have a gender, what is that gender and what do you call it God or Goddess?
For me, I don't think god has a gender, if one exists. It doesn't make any sense in my mind. To me the term god does not infer a gender.
I refer to the creator of all things as my Universal Father/Mother, the center of the divine.

God is a he-she. A combination of both male and female qualities.
The male part is pure conciousness, hence why men tend to me more intellectual.
The female part is creativity, hence why women give birth, the ultimate form of physical creation on our planet.
By combining pure conciousness and it's infinite possibilities with the creativity or "active force", the creation is created.
If you define God as "all things," then by definition God would encompass both genders. However, since gender itself is a cultural, arbitrary division that glosses over a far more complex pattern of social variability, and if there is no division in God and if God should not be limited by human categories, then gender would also be irrelevant when it comes to God. Of course, it all depends on how you characterize God.
Not gender, but reflection of what we understand that is humanly identifiable, or indeed described in our victim blaming bias. eg.
