It strikes me as a little funny that the complementarity of the sexes is something that now requires a defense. Sister Butler, a Mundelein theologian, writes that “creation in two sexes belongs to God’s revelation.”

Well sure, but it also is a fact of biology that is evident by just looking.

Only in a world gone off the hinges would one have to ‘defend’ sexual complementarity. Um, it’s a fact of nature. It’s right there. Always has been.

Sadly, our culture has separated sexual organs from ‘gender’, which is now deemed to be completely unrelated…
 
That is a terrible summary and it took me awhile to find the article in question. I think this is it for anybody that’s interested. It wasn’t what I expected. Gender as a social construct is about the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. I feel like it can be disproven by baby girls who choose a doll over a truck. That dosn’t mean there can’t be a disconnect between a person’s gender and sex organs but I don’t think she is talking about medical anomolies anyway. Admittedly I only skimmed the article, it’s a bit long and wordy.
