Gender

 I am taking a different role here today, because I have a bug in my side. We as Christians seem to have blinders on, we seem to miss things. I have heard it said by many that God has made two genders, that they are defined in the Chromosomes. Just look at the Chromosomes and you will be able to tell if it is a boy or a girl. Have you heard this? I am sure you have, XX and XY, that is the definition. That God only created those two things and that is it. 

Well, I have news for you, if that is true, than I am a true misfit, I don't fit into that and then where do I belong? Does that mean God did not create the men that have Chromosomes that are XXY or even more? We as Christians need to be cautious of how we lay things out, we need to look at science before making rash statements, because I have a genetic syndrome, which sets me apart from most other men, does that make me less or different maybe, but do I need to be an outcast by my own brothers and sisters of Christ? No, it shouldn't, but when we use statements that God defined male and females by the Chromosomes we exclude the people that have different chromosomes. 

Today, I would just like to say, there has to be a different way, take a look at science, take a look at what God is saying. Because God did create male and female. But to those people that the chromosomes don't align with the nature that people are preaching from the pulpits will be turned off and walk away, be careful, because we do exist out here, we are not just one or two. 

I sat thru a class were the pastor told me that we are defined male and female by our chromosomes. After the class, I approached him and asked him, what does that mean I am? I said Dave, I have XXY, what does that mean I am, does that mean God made a mistake making me? He didn't know what to say, because so many people put God in this box, we can't put God in a box. I think this for me is a blessing. I see things differently than most males, I see things through different eyes, I don't relate to many people, I don't get along with most males and I have issues, but God. He made me this way for a reason and I am thankful.

The reason I share this, because remember that God is God, we can't put Him in a box. We don't know why He does what He does, but when we try to define what He does, He throws us a curve ball. Maybe I am a curve ball, I don't know, but I do know that God made me, doesn't mean He made a mistake. I may have both male and female chromosomes, but that doesn't mean I am a female, but it does mean I am different. Next time you think  you can define something by a term, make sure you look it up. My 4th grade teacher posted an article on Facebook trying to say the very thing, males and females are defined by chromosomes. I sent him a link to the Klinefelter's page, he took down his article. Be careful what you post, because it affects people like me. 

Have a blessed day.
