Not really, it is pretty simple really. The Hebrew word is gebar, which actually means, strong man, a valiant man. Don't fall into the trap of assassinating a scripture verse in hopes that it will all go away.
Deuteronomy 22:5 is against gender blending, crossdressing. Not about Chinese women in a rice patty crossdressing or The African Wodaabe or Bororoare crossdressing males.
It is about one chosen people whose remnant respected the covenant with their God. They kept those laws in their minds. They were the true worshippers who worshipped the Father in spirit and truth. Even to the point of losing their temple they were still able to open the windows and face where the temple was located and pray. As we see in the Bible, males wore pants, and we have no record in the Bible of women wearing pants.
In
Numbers 24:15 the word "geber" is used in reference of Balaam. We know he isn't considered a warrior. The word just means a man capable of strength. Like a healthy male? The Hebrew word is used in many verses which have nothing to do with a "warrior as in exclusively military "
Job 3:3,
Job 3:23,
Job 4:17,
Job 14:10, and many more to list. But if these scriptures which have the Hebrew geber don't pertain to humans, then we have some scriptures which need to be reevaluated because they don't pertain to us.
In other words in hopes to lessen the impact of
Deuteronomy 22:5 you just cause greater issues down the road. Kinda like James LeDeaying your way through the Bible.

It's speaking about crossdressing, but I guess that is easier for a Transvestite to see. Churchians make excuses and justify so much in their own lives. That the old rank and file sinners just walk away shaking their heads.

Sad when people's only save is straining at the gnat to swallow the camel.
