I'll be there holding the "if you think gender isn't real wait until you hear about fairy tales of white dudes walking on water 2000 years ago" sign.

was jesus white though? i feel like the term "white" as we use it is specific to the US

You’re surprised at the guy’s race but not the physics-defying act of walking on water?

jesus is actually depicted as walking on water, so it's correct to point that out, but he's not depicted as belonging to an anachronistic racial category, so I thought it was worth correcting that point

I think walking on water is best seen as a very effective literary device, rather than a literal description of an event that took place

also walking on water isn't necessarily physics-defying, for example certain insects do it, as in the notorious W. B. Yeats poem -- and if it gets cold enough it's a pretty ordinary thing to do

Jesus isn't anything like the people who claim he existed. If he did exist he was certainly brown skinned. He would never support guns and would be against whatever twisted modern cause people believe he would support. He would be against the church and its leaders. If he did exist and came back today as people claim those same people would reject him. Lol.

The point being these anti trans people are almost always devout religious people who believe in fairy tales. Meanwhile they reject people's reality. So my job is to point out the irony in their shitty fake beliefs. And sorry to call it fake or fairy tales, I like to use the language of Trump sometimes. Always hilarious to see them lose their shit when his exact words are used to describe them.

you seem deeply invested in the currently trendy cultural/political issues

idk what jesus would do if he was around today, but i'm pretty sure both sides would crucify him -- that's pretty much his defining feature
