UK: Dean of Trinity College in Cambridge Says Jesus Could Have Been Transgender

Pieta with the Holy Trinity by Jean Malouel.

Don’t worry – this is just like the 1990s.

It’s very normal.

The dean of Trinity College in Cambridge has called speculation that Jesus Christ might have been transgender “legitimate,” The Telegraph reported on Saturday. Dr. Michael Banner made the statement in defense of a junior research fellow who claimed that Jesus’ body incorporates both masculine and feminine features.

During last Sunday’s evensong service in the college chapel, Cambridge research student Joshua Heath displayed Renaissance and Medieval paintings of Jesus’ crucifixion while asserting that one of the wounds on his body “takes on a decidedly vaginal appearance,” according to the newspaper.

To prove his point, Heath used the 14th-century painting ‘Pieta with the Holy Trinity’ by Jean Malouel, which is a part of the Louvre’s collection. The painting depicts Jesus with a side wound, from which blood is streaming down to the groin.

“In Christ’s simultaneously masculine and feminine body in these works, if the body of Christ [is] as these works suggest the body of all bodies, then his body is also the trans body,” Heath said, as quoted by the outlet.

Anyone who thinks this is weird is a schizo.

Cambridge PhD claims Christian depictions of Jesus Christ show him as transgender. The PhD is supervised by former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, and has been defended by Dr Michael Banner, Dean of Trinity College. The death of scholarship. https://t.co/ic9WbTjsOa
