My personal opinion is that the different versions of the legendarium are just that - different versions - and not necessarily try to hold one absolute truth by trying to make them all agree. It seems smartest to say that in some versions of the mythos the Valar are sexless and in others they are not. There\\\'s no clear answer, and for that matter a level of ambiguity and detachment from the author\\\'s biases is very much in keeping with the idea of Middle-Earth as a legendarium.
I\\\'m not normally in favor of DeathOfTheAuthor as a constant concept. But I think that Professor Tolkien would very much view his mythology as a fictional reality with a life of its own, distinct from his own biases and opinions, something that others could find different truths and interpretations within. That may be my giving him too much credit.
