Genderful Pride Flag

Genderful or gender-ful: acknowledging that one's full spectrum self is unique to the individual; full of gender, as opposed to genderless; anything or anyone who dismantles stereotypes of social roles based on gender; encompassing the plurality of an individual’s presented identity, and encouraging positivity within the spectrum of gender presentations and expressions

i love being queer. i love being trans. i love being genderless and genderfull and genderqueer. i spent so so long in a tiny, comservative city hating who i was and praying it would stop and here i am years later. i still struggle with things. my identity still changes as does my sexuality but i do not care. i love queerness and queer culture and queer people and being genderqueer and queer joy. i dont have many i can share this with and thats ok too. being queer and genderqueer is a beautiful, wonderful thing and no one can take that from me ever again.

If you could only choose 2, what would be your favorite monsters/beasts of all time from any mythology or legend

jesus christ this is SO hard to answer, i've been marinating on it for a couple days.

I am currently balls deep in an Oni fixation. I love oni, I think they're so incredibly fascinating to the point where I made travel plans to visit Beppu during my Japan trip later this year to see a lot of the kitschy oni lore it's famous for first hand. (picture me explaining to my partner why Oni Tourism is included in all our itineraries)

My next pick is probably the lamassu from Sumerian/Babylonian/Akkadian myth. One of the really common threads with Mesopotamian monsters is that they're usually composite creatures made up of a number of fearsome animals. (Kind of like how most norse monsters are Huge and Ancient, Mesopotamians were scared of Animals with Many Skills). Lamassu (also sometimes used interchangeably with Shedu) are a composite beast that's a mix between a bull and a lion, with eagle's wings and a human face. I think they're cool as shit. Personally, I kind of like depictions of them where they appear more feline than equine, and less human but their intelligence, ferocity, and cool form (AND their symbolic presence as gatekeepers) is just really primed to catch my imagination.

Was Jesus transgender?

Jay Hulme has written a fascinating thread about how theologians have understood the gender of Jesus. Even though no one thinks of Jesus as transgender in the modern sense, it is pretty clear that Jesus has been seen as crossing the gender binary.

Jay Hulme is a transgender poet, performer and education and you can find his web site here! Jay is currently Poet-in-Residence at ‘The Poet’s Church’, St Giles-in-the-Fields in Central London.

Recently there was some drama where news outlets got angry at a sermon which supposedly claimed Jesus was trans. Obviously the sermon did not say Jesus was trans - but it did touch on some fascinating (and very old) theology surrounding Jesus and gender. So let's talk about that.

God is not male

First I've gotta explain the Trinity... which is way too complex for twitter Suffice to say that God is not male (despite what you may have heard) and is in fact all genders and none simultaneously Jesus is God made flesh, God embodied as human. As a human man, yes, but also...

If you've been on Trans Twitter you'll have seen the "Jesus is trans" jokes. Saying his chromosomes had to be XX because he couldn't have got a Y from his Father. The meme about his side would being from top surgery But people have been playing with Jesus' gender for centuries

And the reason that people have been playing with Jesus' gender in art and theology and all that for centuries, is that Jesus gives us REASON to. So, of course, as we expand our understanding of gender in the modern world, we expand that to trans stuff too.

For all mankind

So lets talk about how, historically, the "Masculinity" of Jesus has been seen and considered, shall we?

So the whole point of Jesus is that he comes for ALL of humankind. We are told that we are all capable of, and supposed to work towards, being "christlike" - after all, Jesus is the embodiment of a genderless (or genderfull) God. The point is not that Jesus is a man, but a HUMAN.

And Jesus is clear about the fact that he didn't come as "a man" but "a human". So clear that all of the Gospel writers agree on it. In fact, throughout the Gospels Jesus never uses the word "anēr" (male/masculine) to describe himself. He always uses "anthrōpos" (human).

Jesus is the human incarnation of a God who is all genders and none, all at the same time; a God that has created each of us in their own image - all of us, of every gender - and therefore Jesus is not simply "male", but "human", and theologians have long recognised this.

Jesus as mother

Understanding that Jesus isn't merely "male", theologians have often described Jesus as a "mother" - most famously Julian of Norwich, who wrote in the 1300's, said: "Jesus Christ therefore, who himself overcame evil with good, is our true Mother."

Julian of Norwich also stated "The mother can give her child to suck of her milk, but our precious Mother Jesus can feed us with himself, and does, most courteously and most tenderly, with the blessed sacrament, which is the precious food of true life"

This idea of the sacrament as breast milk was not unique to Julian - many theologians drew the connection between these life giving things - even reflecting Rabbinic understandings of the Manna from Heaven as breast milk to create a long thread of understanding.

But one of the most "contentious" parts of the sermon that started this furore and started this thread is a particular (and long held) understanding of Jesus' side wound. Obviously, Julian has thoughts on that, too...

Julian says: "The mother can lay her child tenderly to her breast, but our tender Mother Jesus can lead us easily into his blessed breast through his sweet open side, and show us there a part of the godhead and of the joys of heaven, with inner certainty of endless bliss."

Jesus side wound

Medieval Christians were OBSESSED with Jesus' side wound. It was the highlight of artistic depictions, the focus of sermons, the content of visions. And one of the main things they saw it as, was some kind of portal...

And by "portal", I do, of course, mean vagina. And that's what the oh so contentious sermon said - "look, medieval christian art saw Jesus' side wound as a vagina. Let's talk about that."

The idea is that Jesus gives life. Like a mother giving birth. Jesus raising Lazarus from the tomb, Jesus himself rising from the tomb, they both involve the miraculous drawing out of human life from a dark cave, along a tunnel, and into the light. Sounds a lot like childbirth.

We say that Christ died so that we could live. The Bible says it a lot. Many theologians, living in a time where death in childbirth was common, and childbirth itself could be horrifically painful drew the connection between Christ's physical death on the cross and childbirth.

Theologians saw Jesus' agony on the cross as a form of 'labour' as he 'birthed' new life for all of us. And so, when the soldier pieced his side, proving he was dead, and "blood and water" came out, they saw that as the moment of 'birth'. Like blood and water come in childbirth

With that in mind, when an opening in a body brings forth water and blood, and in the midst of that water and blood comes new life... it's fair to think of it as a vagina. So medieval artists, depicting that moment, depicted Jesus' side wound as such. It was a thing.

The femininity of Jesus

There's also all the theology that surrounded Jesus' actions: theologians living in times of strict gender roles obsessed over the "femininity" of Jesus feeding and serving others. Even speaking to women as if they were equal. Of him taking the "feminine role" in his interactions

But this thread is already very long...

In summary: If you think it's heresy to see Jesus as "feminine" or "mother" or anything other than a masculine macho manly man, you're wrong. And if you think it's "modern woke nonsense", then you've not been paying attention to centuries of theology, or the Gospels themselves.

One day I'll do a whole thread on how it actually is Big Trans Vibes for God to shrink down to a single "gender" and body to walk among us as Jesus, and how weird that must have been for Jesus to suddenly be "male" and not "the genderweird vibe of God" but that's for another time

Ppl have been going BUT WHAT ABOUT 'THE SON OF MAN' and my friends, the earliest Gospels we've got are Ancient Greek and Luke 9:22 says "υἱός τοῦ ἀνθρώπου" υἱός is often translated as "male child" but regularly applies to female children ἀνθρώπου means "human / humanity"

GenderYes / Yes

[PT: GenderYes / Yes]

GenderYes, is when one’s gender is merely just…yes. This be genderfull, genderless, anything, it’s just…yes.

This gender is based off Mangel’s from FNAF gender. This can be used just as a normal gender, a neogender, or xenogender.

The counterpart is GenderNo(link)

I know this has been said but I have been queer baited time and time again, I have head canoned characters as queer time and time again, I have hoped characters would actually turn out queer so I felt like I had an ounce of actual representation time and time again.

So the fact that Crowley and Aziraphale are too genderless (or genderfull) beings who are in this relationship (being played by two men) and it’s CANON, it’s not speculation, it’s not just a head canon it’s an ACTUAL QUEER CANON RELATIONSHIP means more to me as a queer person then I can ever explain.

Good omens has done so well of making queer people feel seen by it’s variety of different characters. Another thing I love is they make it so CASUAL they make it seem so normal in a way that I’ve never seen before. And I know for certain that there’s just more of this to come.

If your a queer person (or any person at all) I would highly recommend at least giving good omens a shot because it is just amazing.
