Your soul doesn’t have junk in the trunk - Or, what Catholic apologists and Richard Dawkins agree about

"...Are intersex people God’s mistakes?
The heart of Graebe’s argument is his insistence that God doesn’t make mistakes. He says it’s impossible to have a “male soul” in a biologically female body, or vice versa. Therefore, he concludes, anyone who believes themselves to be transgender is self-deluded:
"To deny that essential unity is to say that God made a mistake. …Jesus says, “This is my body,” but we cannot say that of ourselves. Our body belongs not to us, but to God, and he will not be mocked."
Again, there’s an obvious reply: How does this theology account for intersex people?
As I wrote in Christians against pronouns, it’s objectively true that there are human beings who defy simplistic notions of a gender binary..."
Scientific literacy is not a strong point with fundamentalists.
Yes.
12 to 20 million people in the world right now, living fine lives of "none of your business" are intersex people with probable infant surgery.
Millions of people, because its biology, and EVERYTHING biological is on a Bell Curve. Very very whatever to almost none of whatever.
A bell curve for height, a bell curve for swimming ability, a bell curve for being masculine, a bell curve for neurodiversoty, a bell curve for talent in hoarding.
Even if they're not physically intersex, there are a ton of genetic, epigenetic, biochemical and endocrine issues that affect gender expression - not to mention all the environmental toxins, phyto-estrogens and endocrine disruptors in literally everything now.
No reasonably intelligent person should be calling being LGBTQ a "sin" or "abnormal" or "delusion" because that flies in the fact of every historical, scientific, and cultural bit of knowledge that we have.
THEIR culture rejects scientific reality due to bronze age nonsense written by men, putting words into their god's mouth.
False words.
And their viewpoint needs to be rejected entirely by govt and society, not enshrined in bigoted laws.
