eg many fish are intersex & some undergo full sex changes in nature. Male seahorse gets pregnant & gives birth.
Humans can be intersex.
what do christians (& other religionists) make of this?
A few opinions I found out there were than intersex individuals were a defect caused by sin & they shouldn't breed & that transexuals are an 'abomination' etc. How can they justify this view if nature undergoes sex changes, can be asexual, intersex etc?

Found a few views by the fundies on intersex marriage:

of course, they just say that anything that doesn't fit their narrow worldview is because of a 'fallen world' (ie adam & eve's sin)
here's a good article about the damage religion does
