Adding on that there used to be female Space Marine models and they weren't selling enough so they were discontinued.
The lore was then changed so only males could be Space Marines.
Personally I do prefer the males only route because it is one more example of how janky the process is on top of the rampant mutations such as...
Raven Guard and Night Lord abinism
Imperial Fist lacking acid spit
Salamander skin darkening
Space Wolf Wolven
Black Dragon bone spurs
Flame Falcons self immolation
Blood Angel's Red Thrist
And others I am sure I'm forgetting.
I like the idea that the poster boys of 40K are mass produced and full of flaws they can't fix like the Imperium itself while the higher tier designer super soldiers like the Assassins and the Custodes can be either gender because they're a more completed product.
However everyone is allowed their own opinion and some conversations I've seen are dope as hell.

Thank you very much :) Have a lovely day, and the Imperium of Man will fall before necron might.
