God created only two sexes—male and female—but the fall (Genesis 3) has corrupted human physiology, leading to the existence of intersex individuals, who may have a combination of male and female biological traits, including variations in chromosomes, gonads, hormone levels, or reproductive organs.
The existence of intersex individuals does not negate God's divine design but rather serves as an example of the "groaning of creation" in a fallen world (Romans 8:22). The closest Biblical reference to an intersex individual is the term "eunuch." Jesus acknowledged that some eunuchs are born that way (Matthew 19:1-12, Mark 10:1-12, Luke 16:18) and are no less valuable than biological males or females.
God's love for the intersex individuals is clearly expressed in Isaiah 56:4-5:
"To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,
To them I will give, in My house and within My walls, a memorial
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off."
However, the term transgender is used in our culture to describe people whose gender expression differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. A transgender individual, unlike an intersex individual, is biologically male or female but chooses to identify as another gender—or neither (non-binary) —based on their internal sense of identity. The concept of "transgenderism" suggests that the distinction between male and female is socially constructed rather than biologically defined.
I strongly believe that sexual identity should be grounded in biological sex, rather than subjective feelings or perceptions that can fluctuate over time. Our bodies, as created by God, provide a clear and objective basis for understanding human sexuality, and this biological reality offers a stable framework to anchor our sexual identity.
I am particularly concerned about the growing trend (especially among minors) to undergo medical interventions, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and sex reassignment surgery (SRS), both of which have irreversible effects. We should rather focus on providing compassionate care, emotional support, and guidance that affirms their value and identity without rushing into drastic medical interventions.
