Default Is God male, female, or hermaphrodite? God has a wife?

We(humans) were created in God's image and likeness. I have never heard of a genderless human being. However, I have heard about hermaphrodites or people with both male and female genital organs. If God created only man in His(God's) image and likeness then it would make perfect sense to say God is a male. However, God created both man and woman in His image which implies God has both male and female features including genital organs which makes God a hermaphrodite. Some people will argue that God is a spirit and has no material features such as sex organs but if God has no sex organs and we have sex organs then where from the word "image"?.

An image is formed when two or more light rays meet. The light rays must come from the object whose image is being formed. The image formed may be bigger or smaller than the original object depending on how the rays were reflected or refracted. Also, the color of the image may be distorted. However, the image will contain all other features such shape. If you put a naked man upright infront of a very big dressing mirror (with his genital organs infront of him), there is no way you can convince me that his genital organs may not show in the image that appears in the mirror. We are the image(not images) of God which implies God has both male and female features.

On the other hand, It would make perfect sense if there was a female god (goddess) in heaven who was equal to God the father in nature(but not in appearance) during the time of creation. Also, God used "our" image which implies there was another person in heaven with God and that person who was there in the beginning with God could be a female. Could that person be the wife of God?

god has no specific race, no specific gender, no specific color, no specific shape, no specific form, no wife, etc. hermaphrodite, male, female, etc are human terms which do not apply to god
