[Mrs. Don-o]

Your beard is not a sacred sign of anything. By contrast, your sexuality is the means of your loving union with your wife, which is a sign of the union of Christ and the Church (a mystgerium tremendum, cf Ephesians.)

Your beard is not a way to cooperate with God By contrast, your sexuality in the means of your cooperation His work of creating new images and likenesses of God on earth.

Your beard is OK to be modified in any way you want: dye it, braid it, trim it to a point or cut it off, and use what you've cut off to stuff a tiny pillow if you like. By contrast, your sexuality, whole and entire and complete in every detail, is an essential component of your humanity: you are not to switch it around to have different forms and functions: certainly not by reshaping it to achieve a fantasy gender, or disabling its procreative power.

Jews and Christians have always recognized a sacred aspect to sex. It has inherent deep meanings which go beyond "shave and a haircut, two bits."

Sorry Joseph; but you've been excluded from this UNION with YOUR wife.

By design; too; it appears!
