While there is a lot of debate on sexual identity, there was no such debate taking place at this time. Gender identity was what Wahaika was having a problem with.
And I'm not disparaging him for his problem. I hope and pray that someday he can get over it, but... that's for him to deal with.
If religions truly had a problem with "body modification" then every last one of us is going to hell. Since I happen to know that he WAS attempting to help the women here "modify" their bodies, his problem wasn't a religious one.
Also... I honestly can't think of a single religion that universally condemns ALL body modifications. Some condemn certain ones, yes. But none condemn all. Even the most severe ones that I know of don't forbid cutting your hair. And that's a body modification. Or shaving/epilating. That's a body modification. Only a very very small few condemn a modest pair of earrings.
Anyways. I truly am saddened to see Wahaika go and hope that someday he can come to accept that gender is not a binary.
