my favorite way of threading the needle here is 'there are already a bunch of female space marines but because becoming a space marine means being pumped with testosterone and space magic you have no way of knowing which ones they are'
i legit thought that was canon until people started pitching a fit about it. space marines undergo such an intensive modification program that the distinction is irrelevant by the end.
But if you accept this, it implies that there are also chapters that recruit both males and females and the chapter's gene seed makes them all bottom-heavy A-cups with AMAZING abs and enough thigh muscles to crush skulls.
mine is "there used to be female space marines in the early editions", because there did back when they had proper beaky helmets instead of goofbag radiator faces
