If all one read were these stories, it would appear that the Bible is unequivocal in its condemnation of gender expansiveness and that all of Christendom is unflinching in its interpretation of that scripture.
Nothing could be further from the truth. As scholars who have studied the Bible for decades, we believe transgender people—just like all people—are our sacred, precious, divinely cherished neighbors. There’s no reason that one narrow religious interpretation should be able to dictate policy and structure our community.
The author of Genesis writes that “male and female [God] created them” (1.27). While some point to this scripture as confirmation of a gender binary, others identify it as a rhetorical device known as a merism, used frequently throughout the Bible to describe an expansive concept.
Pointing out that the majority of Christians do not believe this, and are in fact insane vicious monsters who want to murder all trans people is extrely rude.
Do you not understand that pride month starts tomorrow? How are trans people supposed to feel like they’re resting on a pile of cocaine with assholes like you pointing out reality? How are allies supposed to feel good without any obligation or cognitive dissonance when junk like this is going around?
This is all suspicious. What search engine even loads in two seconds anymore?
