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.

For the record, the 7th edition Adeptus Custodes codex does have a lore section that states Custodes are all the

infant sons of the noble houses of Terra

And that the custodes are a brotherhood.

I like the change and most people railing against it have no clue. Female custodes were originally intended by the author of the first real Custodes perspective novel.

Aaron Dembski-Bowden has publicly stated (in 2016) that authors wanted them but were told no by corporate because the box of models didn’t have female heads.
