My Yahoo! homepage contained an interesting article this evening about a man who went to the hospital for a kidney stone and discovered he was "really" a woman.
This is a disturbing story, one which I highly doubt.
First off, we know that the Bible teaches we are made male or female. It says not a thing about being born "inter-sexed" or transgendered. The idea is pagan and modern, and therefore, blasphemous on both counts. This secular hospital should be closed or re-staffed under Godly direction rather than having them tell someone that they can be a male and a female at the same time.
But secondly, even if this nonsense was somehow true, the Bible is clear that a eunuch can be saved (Matthew 19:3-12; Acts 8:26-40). He/she would have to remove any dangly bits in between the legs and thus live as a celibate. Jesus even prefers it when we refuse to use our bodies like they are naturally intended.
But what does this repudiation of God's order for the sexes do? He fulfills his sick childhood fantasies of playing dress-up and boofing men in the backs of taxis or at tea parties while his family accepts him! His wife supports him fully in his "new" gender and he goes out and buys a bra with her! No more man around to take out the trash, this wife certainly wasn't of the godly sort. She'd prefer a girlfriend.
Brethren, I think I need to take a pill. I am speechless.

A Colorado man who was admitted to the hospital for a kidney stone received surprising news when the nurse came back with test results revealing he was actually a woman.
Denver photographer Steve Crecelius said he's felt a little different all his life.
"When I was about 6 years old, I started having these feminine feelings, but that was in the '60s. Wearing my mom's makeup, I thought I looked pretty," Crecelius told ABC News.
So when he went to the emergency room five years ago, he wasn't too shocked when the nurse told him she found traits of both genders in his ultrasound results.
He was intersex, meaning he had both male genitalia and internal female sex organs.
"The nurse is reading the ultrasound and says, 'Huh, this says you're a female,' Crecelius said. "It was very liberating. I had spent so much energy after the age of 13 constantly evaluating how people looked at me and acted towards me."
Steve, who now goes by "Stevie," said his wife and their six children accepted his new identity right away.
"We told them individually. Some were in person and some weren't," Crecelius said. "Every one of them said, 'We don't care one way or the other. We love you for who you are and you're still my dad.'"
Crecelius and his wife, Debbie, have been together for 25 years and she's supported him every step of the way, including taking him to buy his first bra.
