If you believe
I don’t believe that pianos can become oranges, but I do believe that trans oranges are oranges. Just like trans apples are apples.
If a bunch of cranks can just decide by fiat that the word that has always named the female half of humanity now includes men, then they can decide by fiat that anything means anything and we will never be able to make any kind of sense ever again.
The word “women” is already taken, and random Michaels don’t get to grab it away from us.
At least he’s internally consistent. Harmful, but internally consistent.
It’s all in the believing. Didn’t soe eminent prophet or theologian say ‘believing makes it so?’ (Could have been St Google.) The Bible tells us that Adam was the first man, and that Eve was the first woman. Does that mean that Eve could have been trans? After all, ‘she’ was fashioned out of one of Adam’s ribs. God could well have forgotten to press the delete key on the copied genitalia. Thus a woman can be XY or XX; or for that matter, anything she pleases. With theological justification.
But where does that leave Adam? And what about the serpent.?
I think the apocryphal Book of Saint Autogynephos holds that the serpent is Eve’s severed lady-dick, leading innocent Adam into a thirst trap.
That might have been the case, but Beezlebub was lurking in the bushes, manipulating the two newly created innocents. Neither of them went through a normal childhood. And what did God do to steer them onto a righteous path? Half the time he did not have a clue where they were, and had to scrabble through the bushes looking for them yelling “where the bloody hell are you?” Or words to that effect. He could have been had up for child neglect.
It’s all there in Genesis 3.
lol
Some omnipotent deity wot?
Was Eve transgender? I have read claims that because men have the same number of ribs on each side then Eve wasn’t formed from Adam’s rib. However, human males are one of only a few mammals – and the only ape – that doesn’t have a baculum, or penis bone. What he does have, however, is a raphe, a low ridge of skin resembling scar tissue than runs along the centre of the underside of the penis, then centre of the scrotum and terminates at the anus.
The raphe, according to the claim, is the scar that formed after God removed Adam’s baculum, and so Eve was fashioned from Adam’s penis bone. Ribs are ribs are ribs but a penis bone is as male as it gets.
Well that’s something I could have happily continued not knowing…

True enough, but I am happy to know that the scar-like thing has a name and what it is. Rather than just “that cornish pasty seam looking thing” which is how I believe medical professionals refer to it.
