Human Nature and Gender
Adam and Eve, who are the foundations of the human race, are not defined by gender (collectively known as “man”), and the primordial creation known as “Adam” served as the source and designation of all mankind in addition to the male sex.
In general, “masculine” means “man, strong” and “feminine” refers to “woman” (Genesis 1:27) When their gender and deeds are defined together, the names of the first people carry the following meanings.
Adam means “a beautiful, pleasant man, kind, handsome, first man, father of all men.” Eve means “life.” Adam named her “Eve” and the name implies that she is “the mother of all living.” (Genesis 2:4-24) She is also called a helper.

What is our Orthodox Church’s teaching on Gender?
Everything that is created by God specifically those attributes that relate to the image of God which all human were created on, is good (Genesis 1:31). When the human being uses and expresses all the God given faculties in a proper way as intended by God, in the proper time and proper place, these things lead to edification and even to salvation. This includes the expression of love through the means of marital relations and sexuality.
