I like the way in which angels and heavenly beings in paintings are typically shown in an androgynous way. My guess is that this kind of gender-lessness or balancing of the male and female is some type of ultimate goal. If you look at some of Leonardo Da Vinci's painting, you will see that he has painted male historical figures in a rather feminine manner, at least it seems that way to me. Jesus in the last supper and his painting of John the baptist are two examples that come to mind. I also find that often you can't really distinguish male babies from female babies. Maybe that says something about the kind of place we come from before we incarnate, where there aren't such boundaries and distinctions.
This quote from the Bible is interesting:
This could be read as saying that God created humans originally as both male and female, rather than creating men and women as distinct sexes. Jesus, in the Gospel of Thomas has this to say:
I quite like the play between the male and female though, and I'm pretty happy being a dude and identifying as such haha. I guess I still have got a long way to go before I reach such a level of enlightenment and freedom.

Quote:So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Quote:When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner as the outer, and the upper as the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female: . . . then you will enter [the kingdom].
