Christianity enforces this model of sexual dimorphism with the notion that to be a human being means to be created clearly female or clearly male in the image of God. This paper draws on interviews with German intersex Christians to explore their diverse images of God and what it means to be created in God's image with the goal of creating new conditions of possibility that represent the full range of human sex/gender. |
