An instructor at the University of Oklahoma has been placed on leave after a student complained that she received a failing grade on a paper that cited the Bible to assert that the “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.”
Samantha Fulnecky, 20, filed a complaint with the administration, the latest flashpoint in the ongoing debate over academic freedom on college campuses amid Donald Trump’s push to end diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and restrict how campuses discuss issues of race, gender and sexuality.
Fulnecky wrote that she was frustrated by the premise of the article because she doesn’t believe that there are more than two genders based on her understanding of the Bible, according to a copy of her essay provided to The Oklahoman.
And, just to be clear, you can't cite any Bible verses about Jesus being transphobic because He wasn't. All the gospels report Him saying are "don't stone adulterers", "divorce and emotional cheating are bad", and "love each other as you love yourselves".
I'm not convinced. What do you make of Deuteronomy 22 and 23? They seem pretty explicitly transphobic to me. Granted, these aren't the direct words of Jesus, and I understand that Jesus "rejected" some of the old testament teachings to some extent.. which sounds like a load of BS to me considering the Trinity doctrine. Jesus doesn't need to explicitly condemn trans people when he propagates a tradition that does it for him.
