The "Jesus is a feminist in opposition to his context" trope is an antisemitic trope. It imagines that Jesus was something other than a product of his context which had rich nuanced roles for women with varying degrees of power and authority. It's another 0T= bad/NT= good trope.
A trans person who identifies as male and uses he/him pronouns is male. He might self identify as trans, as a trans man or have his own self identifying language. He might also have acted out one of the most vicious & violent male scripts. Even if he looks like a girl to others.
The horror of this event is neither managed nor mitigated by blaming a person's sexual & gender identity or even difficulty growing up in a world that sees & labels you one way when you know something different about yourself from the time you're too young to have the language.

Could you not stay awake one hour? Could you not stay woke? You were woke when it was cool but silent when the term was bastardized & became the newest way to say the N-word. When defund the police was too woke, a lot of folk went back to sleep. Could you not stay woke? #Sermon#PalmSunday All Saints Church, Pasadena 7:30 and 10 am Pacific. Could you not stay awake one hour? Could you not stay woke? Sermon: allsaints-pas.org/live-stream/

Delighted to have @lhuber01 give a Carpenter Lecture on queering the Bible and Revelation in particular. #queerthebible
To queer is to question and trouble. @lhuber01 quoting Kent Brintnall. #queerthebible
