sexuality always "No such thing"? When clearly there is:

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome: This is a genetic condition that occurs in about 1 in 20,000 births. The body is unable to respond properly to androgen, the male hormone, and the fetus may lack a uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix, or male structures such as the vas deferens and seminal vesicles. The newborn is clearly female and may have undescended or partially descended testes. Later in life these females will never menstruate, will have sparse or no pubic hair, and are not fertile. Surgery may be performed at some point to remove the testes or to increase the size of the vagina.

Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome: The genitals are ambiguous, meaning either the clitoris is too large or the penis is too small. When these children are older, they may undergo surgery to make the genitals appear either more female or more male.

Clitoromegaly and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: This means that the clitoris is larger than normal, often looking similar to a penis. The newborn will continue to develop masculine-like characteristics such as body hair, deep voice, and large muscles. Later on, if this condition is untreated the person will experience puberty far earlier than usual.

Hypospadias: In this case, the "pee-hole" is located underneath, rather than at the tip of the penis.

Klinefelter Syndrome: These men inherit an extra X chromosome from either parent and have unusually small, firm testes. At puberty, these boys may not grow much body hair and may even experience breast development. At some point they may choose to take testosterone injections to increase masculinity.

Micropenis: These penises are unusually small and the testes may be undescended or partially descended.

Mullerian Agenesis or Vaginal Agenesis: The ovaries would be present but the uterus would either be completely absent or misshapen and small.

Ovotestes: Sex glands contain some combination of both ovarian and testicular tissue. Newborns may look either male or female. Often, these people choose to have the testicles removed.

Progestin Induced Virilization: If a pregnant woman was exposed to progestin, she may give birth to a newborn that may have an enlarged clitoris but have all other female reproductive organs intact. Surgery to reduce the size of the clitoris is usually cosmetic and without benefit.

Swyer Syndrome: These people may be born completely without sex glands and typically look female. She will be incapable of undergoing puberty without hormone replacement therapy.

Turner Syndrome: In this case, female sex characteristics are underdeveloped and atypical. These women may have oddly spaced nipples and be infertile.





This just seems to be the worst case of slippery sh!ttery in its lowest form.

So how about it Christians?

How should these people be allowed to legally marry?

If your child was one, how would you raise them?
 
I'm a Christian and I agree with you. Our response to this should be love, no matter what the condition may be. Simply put, if a person is born with these conditions they are just like everyone else. If a person is homosexual then they should be shown love and respect like everyone else. That should be the Christian thing to do. Can I get an amen!
