Two Genders

 

Genesis 1:27

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (ESV)

There are a lot of passages in the Bible that talk about this. And I remember when biology teachers and biology textbooks upheld this fact. And I don't remember anyone teaching anything any differently until fairly recently. 

 

From WebMD:

Sex is generally determined at birth according to the baby’s chromosomes, gonads, and anatomy. These three features are used to determine biological sex.

Chromosomes. These are tiny structures in the cells that house your unique DNA. A pair of chromosomes called the sex chromosomes determines whether you are male or female. Females have two X chromosomes, and males have an X and Y chromosome.‌

Gonads. These are the primary reproductive organs. Males have testes and females have ovaries. These organs also secrete hormones that promote reproduction. 

Anatomy. Physical genitalia determine sex during the baby’s development. Genitals are the first of the characteristics that determine sex to develop in the womb. Genitalia are the primary sex characteristic, but secondary characteristics are considered, such as breasts, frame, and facial hair.  

 

Yes, there is talk (especially lately) about some genetic abnormalities that they call "Intersex", but that's exactly what they are - abnormalities. And please don't confuse your sex with your sexuality.

 

You can call me old-fashioned, but I don't care what you say, I only see two genders, male and female. It takes a man and a woman to create another human being. The only time that occurs differently is in the movies or when doctors bypass the physiological requirements for insemination and birth. If there were only men, there would be no children. If there were only women, there would be no children. It's just that plain and simple.

 

Do you remember the symbols for man and woman that we have seen all of our lives? For man it is a circle with an arrow pointing up.  For woman it is a circle with a plus pointing down. For what they are trying to espouse today, is it a circle with a question mark pointing backwards? I say this, a little bit tongue-in-cheek, but it's about that crazy.
