But she said that Jesus was making a reference to those who don't fit into traditional male/female roles, a reality that was recognized in the ancient world. (that is a stretch).

What this article does not deal with is the fact that traditional roles are only the orthodoxy roles that happened to win out in the 300s due to the support of the Roman Emperor and not God, at least regarding sexism.  

Our Traditions about women were not scripture based from 100 AD and on.  Jesus never led us to treat anyone differently than we wish to be treated or to even keep women out of same priesthood-or offer women limited sacraments compared to men - that is all Rome's Secular Influence and Pagan Influence in our church.  We must correct this by ordaining women priests as a matter of human dignity and demanding women cardinals immediately.  

Until equality is recognized in the sexes-God created Man-male & female he created them-one same creation. Homosexuals are left out too..
