Again the word of God is recorded by his prophet in fantastic imagery. Ezekiel captures the minds of listeners by elaborate images that he embellishes and interweaves but never loses sight of his initial purpose. The people of Israel were as an abandonned baby and, as was usual at that time,  a female when chosen by God as a spouse. She had nothing and faced certain death but was brought up to be beatiful without compare and was even more favoured by the contract, the promise God made to her even binding himself.

Jesus always opens our eyes to the reality of our lives and our relatonshhips first to God and then among our neighbours. How can we face and understand the gender/sex of  our beings. Man and woman. There is no mention of any other variety of human except for the eunuch. Jesus came to fulfill the Law of Moses not to break it and here tells us that in God the breaking of vows and "marrying" another is fornication. 

The eunuch is a man who is either without sex organs  by birth or by mutilation. Celibacy can be a deliberate choice in order to devote oneself to prayerful devotion to God. Father Son and Holy Spirit have never recognised the state chosen by many to indulge in sexual activity with their own kind. This is the corrupter of the innocents, the bain of mankind and the ruination of many priests.

Dear Lord let your  Holy Spirit fill the hearts of your people, especially your clergy, that we may become able to resist the power of the devil's media and confirm in our very beings your truth, confirming that we were created man and woman and let any other teaching be refuted in public by the Church. Mary whose virginity even though the Mother of God remains as the perfect woman just as Jesus the man is the perfection of man, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our deaths.
