The Church has always had a problem with gender non-conforming people because of its strong inclination to put everyone into neat little boxes. I suppose it's easier to wrap your brain around the idea that everyone is supposed to be exactly the same instead of confronting the real truth that we're all different from one another in myriad ways. Find yourself outside one of the neat little boxes that Mother Church has pegged for you and you're out of luck. Nature delights in God's beautiful diversity. It's a pity the people who claim to speak for God have so much trouble doing the same.
