In heaven, we are all sons of God. Mark 3:

35 For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.
English Standard Version, Revelation 21:

7 The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
Our earthly, defective familial relationships will be replaced. Our earthly sons and daughters will become our brothers in heaven, which is better for everyone. We will love one another as sons of God.

Genders, as we understand them now on Earth, will be transformed and upgraded to the new Earth concept/reality after the resurrection.

We are the bride of Christ and as such, become one with Him.
I agree, there will be no male or female beings in His Mansion. Only the Oneness with Him He intended from the beginning.
Before the fall, both Adam and the woman God formed for his helpmeet were simply referred to as Adam.
She was not referred to as Eve in the Garden.
That is my understanding. But I try very hard to accept correction when I am given Scriptural proof that I am wrong.

Can you give a verse where the woman by herself is referred to as Adam?
It's likely a reference to Genesis 5:2
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
KJV

Thank you, FenderTL5.

I looked no further for a responce than Gen.3:20 where her name is first mentioned.

"And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living."

God and Adam , until that point, had referred to her simply as woman.
