Gospel of Thomas (one of the gospels not included in the modern bible) "Not until the male become female and the female male shall ye enter the kingdom of Heaven"
Lao Tzu in the Dao De Ching
Knowing the male, being the female,
Being the course through which flows the World,
One embraces unfailing Love
Ardhanarishvara represents the synthesis of masculine and feminine energies of the universe (Purusha and Prakriti) and illustrates how Shakti, the female principle of God, is inseparable from (or the same as, according to some interpretations) Shiva, the male principle of God.
There are many examples in myth and history but as Vikki says (paraphrasing here) until you can accept it it's not real.
