Since being trans was not possible during the time of jesus, as it is a modern result of plastic surgery. What would the Bible's stance be on transexuals? would they go to heaven? if so, how? would their false lady parts be left on earth, and the man will stay in heaven? would it come in the whole package? or would they get in heaven at all?
Castration. Your ancient answer to being a transwoman. Not perfect, but all they had. Soy beans help afterwards, but obviously aren't available everywhere. More popular now that the answer isn't agonizing pain with only the result of removing an unwanted body part. Transmen didn't have an option, and still don't have equitable options. For all the love of penis in this world, they haven't figured out how to make one ('perfectly', that I know of, i might be wrong).
Why do you assume a metaphysical realm would hold any similarities or remaindered to/from a physical world? Further, why would it be the modified male body which made it there... and not the woman's soul/mind?
If heaven's all it is said to be, and involved the novel concept of 'bodies'... then yes, a transman would be a fully reproductively equipped male, and a transwoman a fully equipped female.
Where genderqueer individuals fit in is anyone's guess.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
