I am not suggesting what it was intended to mean, only how I percevied it. I assumed that the use of gender was meant to convey an idea different than sex and the reference to pre-mortal gender must mean soimething other than a biological fact as the spirits had no biology (from our point of view) to display. Thus, I assumed that the statement meant that the notion of a gemder difference was created before we were assigned a biological vessel. This obvioulsy has impact for transgendered folks, etc.
I don' thtink it is likely that the statement would be so sloppy as to use gender when they meant sex, but I could certainly be wrong.
