Yeah, even if there were a whole section of the bible describing god as a woman people would still fight you for even suggesting that they’re not 100% man.
I was pondering altering my post to “(Most of) the people” but honestly, from what I know, I don’t think the people considering the Christian god anything other than manly masculine male are a significantly large group to have any effect on anything. At some point it’s impossible to take any and all aberrations into account if you want to have a meaningful discussion.
In your last comment you said “this deity” and that includes Christians with different views on God. But if you ment it in the sense of a very masculine conceptualization, I misunderstood and totally agree
Yahweh was always a dude and even had a wife before these new age cultists wrote her out of the story. Typical.
Ashera was not completely erased but to a degree merged with her husband and therefore gave him female and arguably non binary features
The people believing in this deity today don’t think so and you won’t convince them otherwise.

God is described as a nurturing mother sometimes
Those people aren’t a monolith. Some do think so
