Do male and female souls exist? Is God a male or a female?

Are we all fully male and female, or is there a mix of these in all of us really?
I watched an interesting movie the other day about transvestites.
I wondered to myself why do some people think that they are in the wrong body, like that they are a lady in a man's body, for example?
(It's not the body that thinks this, as they think that they are not that body. They feel trapped in it.)
Is it only the brain that is not wired properly, to accept the male body, or does it go deeper than that?
Are our souls all the same, or are there male and female souls too?
What about the other non-physical bodies, like our emotional, mental, and etheric bodies, do they also have male and female types too, either of which we can attach to our soul to be us, for example.
Is God a male, or a female?
Love creates many different facets of itself, from negative to positive in description, but these are not seen to be just male or female as these are only two distinctions.
No, soul, and the other bodies have more possibilities and are not limited to these two main functitives, like the physical mostly is (i.e to male and female, more or less, only).
Each higher body can have as much negative or positive, or male and female or weak and strong parts as it needs to, in its current incarnation, or life here.
It's all pre-planned in a way, and chosen beforehand, as to type of body, body type, type of brain, physical prowess, mental ability, brain capacity, etc. etc. It's all pretty much a given.
I feel then we should accept more the car we are given for our journey. To not accept it usually just causes us more problems, and adds more to our overall karmic load.
What do you think?

God is neither male nor female. He is a Spirit. (John 4:24) Spirits, such as the angels, do not have a gender. God, presents himself in the male gender as in the Bible, the male has the responsibility of headship over the female. (1 Cor. 11:3)

@innertalks I don't think that the Bible is a book where we can interpret it in different ways. Rather, it is more like a puzzle where there is only one right place where each piece fits.

@1hopefulman I would agree that it (the Bible) is written to describe the one truth, but different writers do sometimes see this from their own mind's eye, and use the words in their own heads at times, even if the ideas of the truths they have seen are put there by God in their heads and hearts, they then try to describe their own experience of it. Or maybe God did tell them the exact words to write in there, then you would be right.

Thanks, Felix.
The Christian Bible can be open to interpretation in many ways. The fact that God is said to be a three in one God, implies to me that he is a spirit, but perhaps he is a little bit more than that at the same time too.
Is God just a spirit, or is he more than that?
The bible says that God has a face.
But," he (God) said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." Exodus chapter 33, verse 20.
The face of God is the face of love, which means it exists for you as love, not to be seen, but more felt, and so in this way, it is not physical, but a sort of spirit, living as God, but also in a functional focus point of itself, and so God is God everywhere and everywhere, wide, and narrow pointed and scattered, all at the same time.

In my opinion sexes are only physical earthly attributes whose main function is propagation and protection of the specie, we would probably be transformed to something else after we pass, something more suited for the spiritual, who knows, we won't know till we get there.

@louievill Yes, the angels in the bible were not really described well, and they were wearing clothes it seems of some type too.
I think I get what you mean.
Man was given some of God's attributes, like having the ability to love, and to be conscious of them self too. The actual physical appearances are probably very different, as you were saying there.
There are some descriptions in the bible of angels.
Here is what the old Testament figure Daniel said:
Daniel, chapter 10, verses 5-6:
"I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. His body was like topaz, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude."

@Shiva49 The film that I was referring to was, "The Danish Girl". It was loosely based around a true, but really, sadly, tragic story.
Einar Wegener would kill himself in the spring.

@innertalks Yes, it is tragic but pioneering efforts have made this surgery rather mainstream.
They were judged as freaks but now we know they have real issues that cannot be wished away. They need understanding and not ridicule - siva

I don't believe that anything is planned like that. People have free will, life is not dictated by something that some call God.

@innertalks I understand that, as are mine. It is just that I can discern no plan, that all of life, the good and the bad, seems so random. Devout believers speak glibly of a loving God's plan, but what loving god would have planned 9/11, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Las Vegas mass shooting, world wars, slaughter in the name or whatever god you believe in, so much more.
It makes no sense at all to me.

@JamesHxstatic To me either, and yet if it was all just a random pop-up, it, to my mind would give open slaver to more of this type of behaviour.
If there is no meaning in anything, it sort of makes me depressed. Surely, the dots must be connected together in this way (as they are now) for some reason, and surely the Universe has panned out this way, the way it is right now, according to laws of some sort.
If even the laws are random, what is the point of anything, and yet I suppose, I remain curious about the possible answer still, as does that great physicist Stephen Hawking.
It must be only his great need to find answers that has kept him alive all of this time, as virtually just as a brain, in a lifeless body.

Thanks for your viewpoint.
I wonder if anything is planned at all then, or is it just like a seed is growing somehow, for some reason, and this turns out to be the Universe, with us as a part of it, somehow too.
I know that I am not God. I know that I do not have the answers. I am not contented with this though. I want to explore and listen to other's experiences too.
I just don't know why I am here now, in this body, at this time. It certainly feels like I am a part of somebody else's plan, as most of my life has been dictated to me, but that's only how I feel about it.
My ideas are only personally my own thinking.

I believe male/female distinctions will dissipate once we cross over to the other side.
Hindus have many gods, both male and female.
They are equally powerful but with different mythology associated with them.
We have goddess of knowledge, wealth as also creator, preserver, destroyer.
At the end of the day it is belief more than anything else - siva

Jesus Christ told us this much in the Bible:
Matthew chapter 22, verse 30.
"At the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."
So, you might well be right, the distinction might well disappear altogether.

@Shiva49 Except perhaps for our old memories, if we retain any of these...LOL...

@innertalks Yes, when we do not have a physical body like here then gender issue won't matter - siva

A man is a man and a woman is a woman. But a woman is strong and tough and a man is tender. Eve is from the rib of Adam and mankind has two parts, male and female. We are mankind. God is our father, the fatherly spirit. Woman and man is in His image!!

Yes, that's what the Christian Bible tells us.
I was just doing a bit of speculating to see how deep this male/female theme runs in us.
If it runs as far as God, it means that fundamentally then too, we, being made in his image, must definitely be one or the other too then too, I would think.
Perhaps when we add on the body, mind, and soul, if they do not all align up properly, to God, to love, and to ourselves, we might feel to be something else, that we are not really then.
But if reincarnation is true, then that might again cloud the issue a bit as well. We probably have been both genders then, at various times.
