biology, gender, sex, and God

In the beginning, God made humanity in His own image. In His own image He formed them: biologically, chromosomally, cellularly, and chemically male and biologically, chromosomally, cellularly, and chemically female, He created them... Probably.

Before we go around demanding that people "live out the truth" of their biology - an argument I've seen in Christian circles - are we absolutely sure we are "living out the truth" of our own biology? Or of the biology of those around us?

And, really, does biology matter when one serves the living God who sees, knows, understands, and still calls us all to Him? Is an argument over biology worth the kindness, patience, gentleness, and self-control that Paul instructs Christians to exercise as indicators of God's spirit in us and as a witness of love to the world?
