Proceed with caution. Please understand that the following is not about the psychological, social, or emotional aspects of sexuality. It's a comparative of carnality versus spirituality.
Man's carnal nature focuses on the outer cup, which renders judgement based on what is seen. Howbeit, while there are clear and obvious physical differences between men and women; in Christ, there is no distinction, spiritually; and, therefore no favoritism. "For there is no respect of persons with God." Romans 2:11 (KJV)
Genesis 1:27 (NLT)
So God created human beings in His own image. In the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.
Like birds and other animals, mankind does not survive (continue, procreate) without both male and female.
Genesis 7:3 (NLT)
Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird. There must be a male and a female in each pair to ensure that all life will survive on the earth after the flood.
²⁹And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.
Romans 2 (NLT)
²⁷In fact, uncircumcised Gentiles who keep God’s law will condemn you Jews who are circumcised and possess God’s law but don’t obey it. ²⁸For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision. ²⁹No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.
Where lies your loyalty?
Romans 13:10 (NIV)
Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Now, that's true belief. Bottom line, God reserves the right to elect whosoever He desires (male or female) to carry out His plans.

God’s Children Through Faith
Romans 2 (NLT)
²⁶For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁷And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.
²⁶For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁷And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.
²⁸There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
²⁹And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.
- What is faith? Belief, exemplified through allegiance.
- Why is there no distinction in Christ's family? Where there is a heart of true belief, not just practices (doing all the things) there is legitimacy. Practices, without the spirit of truth and belief, is nothing more than superficial ritual (superstition), which is no better than the Pharisee's religious laws: religiosity.

Where lies your loyalty?
- Religious Law = Strict adherence to man-made ceremonial practices only. Religiosity. [Ref. Matthew 23:23 (NLT)]
- God's law = Devotion of the heart, mind and soul to obey God's laws of love. It's okay to have religious practices, but not at the expense or exception of God's greatest commandment to love. [Matthew 22:36-40 (NLT)]
Romans 13:10 (NIV)
Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
