[After someone explained that intersex babies exist...]
So because of the degradation of sin upon our genetics causing all sorts of regressive, mutations to our offspring, you say that is the reason to disregard what God explicitly stated. Maybe some are born with developmental anger issues... does God dismiss the prohibition against the 6th commandment?

Huh? Biologically intersex humans, formally known as hermaphrodites, have existed since the beginning. These are humans with both male and female sexual organs. This used to be common knowledge. Due to modern medical science we seem have to forgotten what used to be rare, but certainly not unknown.
My mother worked as a nurse in a maternity ward in the 40's and 50's. She once told me that every so often a child was born for which the parents had to decide, boy or girl. The baby then got a load of hormones and things usually wnt in one direction or the other.
If EastCoastRemnant believes in a creation by God, then he also has to accept intersex humans. This has nothing to do with transgenderism.
Thanks for figuring out that, while so many fundies give god all the credit for everything, god also has to take the "blame" when things don't go as expected. A baby with mixed sex is ....a baby, a human being, and if you want to call it a "child of god", you go right ahead, I won't stop you. It deserves the same love and care and consideration as any other human being.
No, because of natural errors in our evolutionary process, we have to accept that gender identity is pretty far from black and white. IF that god of yours is omnipotent, he could have fixed it, but he doesn't.
Anger issues are bound to harm others. A person being both male and female doesn't impact others in the slightest, except having to call the person "it", "them" or just the name, whichever the person feels most comfortable with. You can handle that much, can't you, dearie? After all, s/he has to live its life as an oddity, an "abomination" according to some, by not fault of their own; having to call them "Kim" instead of him or her is not any inconvenience, in comparison.
Which is the sixth again, and, according to which version? Thou shalt not kill, or thou shalt not commit adultery?
does God dismiss the prohibition against the 6th commandment?
Which one?
From Exodus 20
6. You shall not kill.
From Exodus 34
6. Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, even of the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
So because the supposedly all-knowing and all-powerful creator of the universe was too stupid to assemble a genetic code that wouldn't explode the moment it experienced the barest hint of trouble, people should have to pretend that they're not that which they are?
"does God dismiss the prohibition against the 6th commandment?"
Ignoring for a moment that your shit grammar leaves that sentence meaning the opposite of what you intended, he probably should. He breaks that commandment more regularly than a miner breaks rock. Kind of makes him look like a massive hypocrite in addition to a fucking moron.
Ken Ham has used a similar argument to ignore people who are physically, undeniably born with two sets of genitals: namely, claim the Fall did it and refuse to consider the implications that would have on his own theology. Of course, such rare exceptions don't disprove general rules, but they do disprove absolute declarations, especially those purporting to be divine in origin.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
