15. Jesus SAID people were not just all male or all female, in a talk about marriage.

Matthew 19:11-12:
Jesus said to them, "Not everyone can accept this teaching, for there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are others who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are those who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." And he implied that we should cut them some slack, not punitively enforce rigid rules. Right-wing people tend to read or listen to about half a sentence and then jump to conclusions. Anybody who has studied genetics will know that there are genetic variations in sexual identity, and various quotations and statues from ancient times indicate that some babies were born with unusual genitalia and sexual characteristics long ago.
