This simply can't be supported though. Christians tend to be gender essentialists, but there are a wide range of genetic defects where people appear to conform to one gender while not having a genetic makeup that conforms to the assigned gender, e.g., androgen insensitivity syndrome. So if people are made exactly how god intends them to be, and sex is an essential part of that, how can people exist that do not genetically conform to their assigned gender, or any binary gender? You can't say that god doesn't make mistakes and say that sex must be binary, when genetic errors prove that at least one of those propositions must be false.
You could say the same thing about psychopaths, since they believe that everyone has the ability to understand that they're sinful, etc.
That's why I said there's no real logic, it's all just cherry picking the parts they want to believe and ignoring the real world aspects that don't conform to their presuppositions.
