God assigns gender as He assigns sexual function. Of course, in our fallen state we often rebel against God's ways. I do it all the time when I am in my flesh.
But if we are truly born again, we are a new creation. That means we don't live by the flesh, but by the Spirit.
You may not want to come to terms with how God views your perspective because it is contrary to His will and you feel like there's nothing you can do to change that.
But I want you to know God loves you so much He made a way for you to overcome this flesh and these ideas about gender that are contrary to His ways. He made His Holy Spirit available and if we go to Him on His terms, His way, we can see His power manifest over sinful, unbiblical ideas about how we should live.
The word "grace" is used multiple ways in the New Testament. Sometimes it means unmerited favor even when we are falling short of His standards. That means we can go to Father God's throne through Jesus' Spirit and be received to be washed clean of our sin.
Other times, Paul used the term "grace" to mean an enabling power to overcome anything, including sinful, unbiblical ways of living.
Jesus said, "You receive not because you ask not." All you need is to want to change your ideas about gender and trade them in for God's ways and He will grant you the power to walk in that understanding and not struggle with the kinds of thoughts you are having.
This will bring you into closer communion with Christ, and transform you more into His likeness, and bring a greater revelation of His love, His holiness, and His power to save and transform you.
I hope this blesses you and anyone else reading it. In Jesus' mighty name!
I'm afraid the PC police are going to have to arrest you for that remark
