Why do we assume that the devil is male? Because of typical western machismo. "There's no way a female could rival God!" Why not? Maybe that's why the devil approached Eve, because they share the same thinking. The devil is petty, rebellious and mocks God, thinking anything God can do they can do better ... do those sound like male traits? Sounds more like a naggy "boss" bitch, right?
Seriously, the presentation of the devil as "male" has been a long standing ancient deception. The men of the Bible, or perhaps the common folk they were preaching to, couldn't accept the idea that a "female" entity could stand as a rival to God, yet we see today that "the shoe fits."

Sure. It's not unreasonable to think all this "trans" and "non-binary" illness spreading around is of the devil "itself."
I'm being serious. I genuinely believe that once we "de-gender" evil, we start to understand more about the evil around us here on Earth. Even if God did assign a gender to the devil, it would make sense that it would rebel against that too.
God is understood as male because He is the Progenitor of the world and all existence. The seed of creation comes first from the man, which woman receives. Woman gives birth, but not first without the man's seed. So it makes sense to think of God as male.
