Obviously, not. Otherwise, you would not plainly torture the obvious expressions of His masculinity.
Since we have limited understanding of God, God, in His word, plainly self-identifies as masculine. When He became incarnate, He came as a man, not woman.
He chooses his form, if any, and if a female form speaks to someone and brings them closer to him, I am at no point to say it cannot be him because it does not conform to what I expect nor accept.
Where, in all the Theophanies shown in the Bible, do you see God as anything but masculine, or inapproachable light?
He does what he is going to do regardless of my or anybody else's preference.

You mean like the burning bush? Since Jesus us the bridge between us, I don't see him as inapproachable at all. The woman at the well did not see him as inapproachable. Nor did the woman who was healed by her faith by touching his garment. As a matter of fact, everybody he healed and those who healed in His name were all approachable.
Isn't that one of his points for being born in a carpenter's family? Isn't that why he went around Judea teaching, telling and showing people what he is like. And then to be crucified on a thieve's cross.
He was certainly was not revealed in a way the Hebrews of his day expected him to be. Why should that change? That aspect of his personality is still alive and well today.
If you are going to reach others out of your experience, an open mind is needed about what He does and can do.
Remember, at one point, he had never before or since (that we know) revealed himself as a burning bush. At some point it was new and there are new things happening all over. That's another pattern of his.
There is a real problem with the traditional church and why members are dying off and the churches are empty and becoming museums about what once was. Expectations have become more important than the experiences of the followers.
Some call it "The Third Generation Effect":
http://www.crivoice.org/thirdgen.html
The first generation is connected to their experiences in God and experiences growth.
Second generation is entrenchment and they hold onto the experiences of the first generation as they are trusting of the first generation and want to protect those beliefs.
Third generation has only heard stories from somebody else they don't know and dismiss them as just stories and with ignorance, create their own identity outside of the stories they have only heard and no experienced.
That link also has a solution to this problem.
As long as we are not able to see His hand in motion or even believe he is approachable to us, we'll always be stuck without a recent touch. Living off of somebody else's experiences and stories with no testimony of our own.
We need a revival to see for ourselves what is can do and start a whole new first generation. Maybe we can stop the cycle and allow the following generations their own experience with Him so the faith can continue on.
Pray for a revival and expect it to be something that has never happened before.
