This is the level of discourse we're being subjected to, I cant see how you could argue a person out of such a belief. Not the belief in resurrections or virgins births, the belief that this sort of argument is lucid.
So I say we lean in. May as well apply it to any other cult.. Those heavens gate people, for example, laughing at us from the mothership right now.
Since humans use XY sex determination, any parthenogenically produced offspring would be clones of the mother, and hence female.
The only vertebrate organisms that are an exception to this are turkeys, whose parthenogenic offspring may be male or female.
Thus, if the Nativity story is true, Jesus was either a woman or a turkey.
