" The majority of the adult population grew up with traditional concepts of femininity and masculinity, and aligned gender with external sex characteristics. Many schools of Christian thought believe we carry a binary gender when we leave our bodies. But when we are no longer equipped with genitalia, Adam’s apples, or bone structure, what will our gender resemble? Will our presences in the mystical state known as heaven be intensified versions of binary genders, or will our spirits broaden to be even more like God? More fully both, just as God is both? "
