    The idea of God being non-binary is really one of the oldest ideas in theology—even Christian theology. This should not be controversial in any way. But here we are.

    God simply cant be anything but non binary. Its like a defining feature of the Divine that it transcends mortal boundaries. Insisting on confining that to a sexual, material, fleshy gender binary has always struck me as blasphemous.

    But what do i know im a blasphemous heathen myself 🤷‍♂️

    That’s actually a pretty cool flyer.

    Worthy of keeping. Put it in a scrap book.

    It looks like a flyer for a pride parade with special guest speakers.

    I’d go.

      They’re mad that Talarico pointed out that the original text uses male language for Yahweh and female language for the holy spirit. Talarico said god has aspects of masculinity and feminity, and conservatives flipped out. He cited their actual book.

    It’s weird that someone could be successful in politics based on such a stance.

    Literally nothing about governance of state in there, just a single strand of social opinion.

    It’s like winning a captaincy in Grade 7 because you said the teachers smell, but like, this is adults and it’s been working.

        In Law school they teach us about the “eighth grade rule”. Basically if you’re going to say anything to a jury, make sure an 8th grader would be able to understand it… And after watching a few jury selections, that honestly seems optimistic.

          Oof, yeah depending on how long ago that standard was set, that bar could be a tripping hazard by now 😅

    The sad part is trans people lost rights in a lot of states. There was a blue wave, but this wasn’t a total win. The billionaire tax measure lost in California and measure 42 which did pass now makes a one time billionaire tax on assets impossible.

      Up here in Washington, we managed to uphold our millionaire tax, but trans girls were barred from sports with bio girls, and schools can no longer withhold health and wellness information from parents (information that would out LGTBQ students to their parents, for example). Interesting to note, however, that while trans girls can’t play with bio girls, trans boys are free to sport it up with bio boys. I long for the day where a trans boy just trounces every bio boy on their team. The fallout from such an event would be legendary.

        The other thing is the girls health checks to make sure they are a “born female”.

        That was started in Florida by some pedophile doctors. I moved to get away from that shit and now it’s one state above mine

      What does this have to do with trans people…?

      California is a land of liberal fascists.

      You’ve got to swallow that bitter pill before you can make any headway in the state.
