Something a lot of people forget is that clothes/accessories (just to use that as example now) that are highly feminised as we know them now were originally intended for men. Make-up, wigs, high-heels and even the colour pink were originally intended for men. As far as contrary doctrine goes you get certain Nigerian churches (Deeper Life being a notorious example, not that the church as a whole is too bad) banning women from wearing trousers despite the fact that hardly anyone wore trousers up-until about 200 years ago (and even then they were only made for a specific purpose, i.e., horse-riding) and even places that have earlier history and experiences with trousers often reserved them for women (India being a prime example). They try and push post-colonial indoctrination that only applied to a very particular time in history in the grand scheme of things as not just "African culture" but the actual word of God and we all know that ain't it. Even the overseeing superintendent himself (pastor Kumuyi) low-key admits that and actually wants to abolish all that crap. I can understand the bit about not wearing jewellery in church and women covering their hair in the house of God but the rest is just copy-cat truckster garbage. And it’s not like the men in the Bible ever wore trousers so y’know.
"Non-binary" per-se is utter nonsense, too.
