In Gee Dubs defence, there had been speculation for years over female Custodes precisely because, unlike Space Marines, Custodes were not explicitly noted as being male-only.
I'll take the L on that, I didn't know it wasn't explicitly said. I don't remember any speculation like that either.
Still I take it from what you're saying that there were also no female custodian characters over the years, right? It doesn't help the misconception but it isn't the same as saying there aren't any.
Oh yeah, there were never female Custodes mentioned, which is why it was such a debate. My best guess is that Gee Dubs overlooked it when they changed Space Marines to male-only genetically modified supersoldiers after the Rogue Trader days, and when they realized their mistake, decided to keep it ambiguous in the Custodes' case they wanted to change it later.
