I was under the impression that Mary's pregnancy was hidden till she and Joseph were married to prevent her from being stoned from the townpeople.

"By now [sic] God is neuter anyway so how can he have a live sperm? Let me suggest that the Visitation by Gabriel took place in the same mind and at the same time that Joseph had a dream. So that kind of means that there was no physical birth but just the rebirth of Joseph unto whom Christ was born and because of this new dual identity they called him Jesus."

If we assuming that God exists who can create the entire universe, human life, and the means for reproducing human life in any way he chooses, could he have produced a human fertilised egg in Mary's womb with whatever DNA and pre-dispositions he wanted? Of course he could. Therefore his gender and nature are irrelevant.
