Interesting subject to be sure.. is it possible for a "spiritual creature" to appear as whatever he/she/it wants to appear as... Possible?.. Shape shifters?..

Would (seem to) answer how a snake appeared in the Garden of Eden metaphor.. How Jesus walked on water.. and a good deal of other reported "happenings"..

Humans basic arrogance can/could assume all things happens on a scale of fleshly reality.. Effecting not only world view but understanding of physics and cosmology.. and even mathematics.. How could an ax head FLOAT(bible)?...

Gender may be illusionary.. or even allusionary...

That is the most common error IMHO: that that which is physical is all that there is, i.e. the extent of "reality."
