There can be several reasons for masculine women and feminine men. Most all men have xy chromosomes, and most all women have xx chromosomes. However one out of every 600 babies are born with chromosomes that differ from this.
There are men that have xxy or xx chromosomes. There are women that have xy chromosomes. Typically these folks have bodies that are less then masculine or less then feminine. Typically they are sterile and cannot produce children. Typically they have likes/dislikes and tendencies that, to some degree, mirror their chromosomal makeup.
There can also be those born with both sexes gonads.
Most women produce testosterone. Most men produce estrogen. However, there can be too much of these in some people.
Most of these people know only too well the rejection that comes from society because they are not "normal."
If this woman you encountered was not homosexual. If this woman was the product of chromosomes or gonads or hormones, imagine how she felt when she sensed your disgust. How sad.
For some Christians to see that these people are less then masculine or less then feminine, and call it "discernment" of a homosexual spirit is even sadder.
Yes, some of these people might be homosexual. However, to assume ("discern") that they are homosexual is wrong.
No wonder so many "different" people out there consider Christians to be a bunch of judges and full of criticism.
If someone is truly homosexual then so be it. I am not condoning homosexuality for Biblical reasons. However to assume all different people (when it comes to being masculine or feminine) are homosexual is hurtful to them and just wrong. In my opinion you and others like CC1 need to seriously consider whether you need to repent of your actions and attitudes.
How would you feel if you had different chromosomes or hormones or gonads and you knew the disgust Christians would lavish on you?
As far as your disgust with her: In OUR society, most men dislike less then masculine men. Most women dislike less then feminine women. They (those with disgust) are a product of our society that constantly glorifies slim curvaceous buxom women and muscle encased men.
I have been helping/counselling a sister in her 40s that is naturally not a feminine woman. She has facial hair that she deals with. She has no figure - in our societies terms. She is unmarried because men are not attracted to her. She loves the Lord. She has done NOTHING to produce her masculine looking physical features. She has had a life FULL of rejection, hurt, and loneliness (even in the church). How sad.
Just my thoughts.

It's ALL good!!!
