Richard,
I'll have to sit and cogitate awhile to answer that. Please put up with
me.
Perhaps you gentlemen can help me, in
the context of your discussion, understand this verse as saying what you
have written below.
AS this physical frame is the throne of
the inner temple, whatever occurs to the former is felt by the latter. In
reality that which takes delight in joy or is saddened by pain is the inner
temple of the body, not the body itself. (The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab,
p. 94)

Mind and Body are not seperate from each other in this plane of
existence, anyway.
The source of much physical suffering is prompted by the mind.
The cases of pseudo-hermaphroditism are definitely from the body, not
the mind. The events of genital ambiguity are definitely of the body, not
the mind.
As to the rest of it, it's a swirl of grey, not a pattern of black
and white. Gender dysphoria is complex, but undeniable.

Scott

off, sorry but I can't imagine one person "changes" sex, it sounds
ridiculous to me. Im not a pro in this, but I think very few
heterosexual-homosexual cases have biological or genetic implications;
the majority has psycho-sociological
antecedents.

These are all
issues which have been raised before the House of
Justice but they
are not yet ready to make a ruling in this regards.
