Nor does it tell you anything about her. (note your error about gender, since your proof tells you nothing, either.)
If the proof doesn't tell you anything about her (or him, or them), then it doesn't tell you anything about her. Therefore, it is not a proof, since a proof actually tells you something about what is proven.
And your anecdotal story about how your faith was tested is not a proof, either. It could also be a misinterpretation. You have not proved that faith can be tested, or that she would even want to test your faith. You assume it is and can be, and that is not a proof, nor evidence.
Given that, it doesn't disprove to you your he is really a she and a he, and are really Goddess and God. (Christians can't see the reality of this dualism though, they seem to be stuck on their -proof-, er Bible that God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and Satan are all male, and therefore possibly gay.) Nor does the non-proof say anything else, such as a crucifixion myth or Biblical inerrancy or any other nonsense which comes from people imagining what their particular god might be like, then imposing that with a penalty of death on unbelievers, or for being gay. (Don't do as I do, do as I say. Or else.)
Actually, it is not hard at all.
Such imaginings are dangerous when the dreamers get real political power.
