Re: Gender Blending: Is it Wrong?

I guess what I am asking, is what really determines gender? It is simply physical? Baby's with are a boy or girl depending on their outside parts? My point is, that often the inside endocrine system, and the outside parts, don't match. Then what? Or what if there is just one little hormone that's off?

Where do we draw the line? When do we determine that it's sin? Does a man with too little testosterone, who has a higher voice than most men, and is not as physically strong, does that make him effeminate and a rank sinner? (Notice, I am not asking does he go fool around with other men, or wear women's clothing....that stuff he can obviously control)
Let me see if I understand your point. You're saying that if babies can be born with the wrong parts outside (in the case of a deformity or birth defect, e.g., "intersexed"), that it falls to reason that the inside (the mind and bodily systems and functions) can be equally flawed from birth. Correct?
