With all the fracas about gender identity nowadays, I think we need to go back to basics and see what the Bible actually says about gender.
Quote:
Genesis 2:21 The Creation of Woman
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

So we can see that it was Adam who started this nonsense about gender by calling one of his ribs "Woman". There is no objectively distinct "Woman", there is only Man and parts thereof. So that is where all the nonsense about gender began. Adam's folly is revealed later when the rib ate of the forbidden fruit. Unfortunately it has only gotten worse 6000 years later with over
100 genders, presumably culled from different organs of Man, the one True Gender.
Now, I would agree there are degrees of Man. There are alphas, betas, sigmas, incels and retarteds. But these are still male. You could argue that rib may be a subcategory of retard - and I would agree that has some logic to it - but nowhere is there a Woman.
