Yes, in traditional Norse mythology, Valkyries (meaning "chooser of the slain") are consistently depicted as female warrior figures who guide fallen heroes to Odin's hall, Valhalla, and the term itself is feminine, making them inherently girls or women in myth, though modern fiction sometimes bends this rule. While some stories blur lines with warrior women (shieldmaidens), the divine Valkyries themselves are always female.
Most scholarship on valkyries and shield-maidens categorizes them as women, as kinds of warrior women who are connected to other, rare warrior women, such as the maiden king (meykongr) and to other women who, in exceptional circumstances, take up arms to fight [...]

Pantheon of the 13 Valkyries
In Norse mythology, Valkyries are female warrior figures who decide the fate of warriors who fall in battle. According to myth, the Valkyries, a name meaning “chooser of the slain,” select the warriors who will die in battle and guide their souls to Valhalla, the hall of fallen heroes.
The names of Odin, Ulfur and Hydyr are visible. In the Viking Age many boys were named after the god Thor, like Toke and Thorsten. Animal names were also popular. It was not unusual to meet Vikings with names like Orm (Serpent), Ulf (Wolf) and Bjørn (Bear).
Yes, it's highly likely there were gay people (men and women) among the Vikings, but their experiences differed greatly from modern LGBTQ+ identities, with same-sex acts sometimes tolerated if societal duties (marriage/children) were met, but passive roles in male-male sex stigmatized as unmanly (ergi), leading to insults and potential punishment, especially after Christianization, though evidence for lesbian relationships is scarce in sources, according to historians.
In Norse mythology, Freyja (Old Norse "(the) Lady") is a goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, gold, and seiðr (magic for seeing and influencing the future).
Women that fought were in the Norse literature called vakyries or shield-maidens (skjoldsmøyer). There were several kinds of female warriors.

These divine warriors, daughters of Odin – the god associated with war, wisdom, and death – and Frigg, the goddess embodying love and fertility, hold a pivotal role in their lore. Their name, derived from Old Norse “valkyrja”, translates to “chooser of the slain”, underlining their solemn duty.
Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens and sometimes connected to swans, boars or wolves.
