What is fascinating is that in Christianity we have a cutting edge dialectic to learn from this phenomenon. This dialectic leads to distinct higher principles which separate the body of Christ from the world. The LGBT community takes the opposite approach. They are seeking variation as a solution. So here is another form of dialectic. The opposite direction between those seeking principles through dialectic and those seeking variety based on experience. Yet, only through higher dialectic can you recognize the broader one. This means, that only through a Christian dialectic can we decide for our one body where the sexual distinctions are drawn ; and only then can we discover the acceptable variations among them. This also means that our approach is quite the opposite of LGBT.
This dilemma follows the growth of Platonic philosophy, which fostered a higher dialectic in order to distinguish principles, over a lower, more primitive, dialectic – that between principles and variation. The exchange between Christian principles and LGBT variation is of the lower type. The refinement of Christian principles by facing the intersex phenomenon within it’s own experience and limitations is of the higher. From the bounds of Love, as one body, we can envision the good.
I am suggesting that as Christian’s we can exchange ideas with LGBT, but we can only resolve the intersex phenomenon using a method quite different from theirs.
