How to interpret this? Would you marry a man? Does this support transgenderism? Does it mean that the scriptures that teach that wives must submit to their own husbands, including scriptures from this same author, are not true? Let's reject these liberal ideas.

There is a context here that has to do with being heirs according to the promise.

In the past, in order to convert to Judaism, a woman could become a slave of a Jew or the male head of her household could be circumcised. Now, women can become a part of the church without having to go through any man, except the Man Christ Jesus.
I interpret it that my wife, my helper, has much to offer in all ways.

I believe this scripture is understood when one sees it is "in the sight of God," not in the sight of mankind, for that is impossible, yet we know spiritually we will be just as He.
