With the lady who was recently sorta disqualified for winning a foot race, because she was not really a she but a bit of both, I began to consider what church teaching was on hermaphrodites. I don't think other sects of Christianity have canon law and lawyers to interpret it, but I knew Roman Catholicism would have an answer.
The only thing I could find was that they claim that there is a test to determine the actual sex of the child (DNA testing is alluded to) and do surgery and hormonal support for the proper development of that gender. The Roman Church apparently has no opposition to proper diagnosis and treatment of such a condition.
But this church considers a person's changing gender as mutilation. Still, it claims that choosing a gender for a hermaphrodite is OK. It is remarkably silent on what sexed partner a non-gender-decided hermaphrodite should choose, and there seems to be no condemnation for letting the bi-gender baby grow up that way and determine for itself if it wants to go left, right, or down the middle. It would seem to me that logically, a hermaphrodite could not be homosexual regardless of the sex of the partner. And logically, it would follow that solely male or female people should be able to choose their partner without regard to sex too. I think these Roman Church people make stuff up as they go along. I've got to find me a new spiritual idiom.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
Ps 133:1 NASB
