I'd be interested to know how the Christians here would judge an intersexed person in regards to homosexuality. Someone who is born with ambiguous genitalia and/or chromosome abnormalities which essentially render the person a combination of both sexes seems to question the parts of the bible which condemn homosexuality. Should these people just select the sex they are naturally attracted to and go from there, or should they remain celibate?
It's been scientifically proven that altering the androgen levels of pregnant mammals produces homosexual offspring, offspring that behave like that of the opposite sex, and offspring with an ambiguous physical sex. Androgen levels can be disrupted in a natural pregnancy, for many reasons. If scientific studies have shown that sexuality is a fixed part of our biology, then how can sexual attraction be something someone has control over? Obviously, someone can choose whether or not to act on their desires, but they can't choose to be sexually attracted to the sex to which they have no instinctual desire.
In my opinion, Christianity is a primitive, outdated belief system that
devalues human life and underestimates the complexity of the world we live in.
