The BBC is doing a Lent talk. This year’s sermon: how Jesus is like a trans woman.
Jesus’ 40-day struggle in the wilderness led to his discovery of who he was and what his mission would be. This year’s Lent Talks theme is identity – losing and gaining identity, struggling with identity, accepting and owning identity. Anglican priest Rachel Mann reflects on the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and on her journey of identity as a trans woman.

This reminds me of Radio 4’s Thought For The Day (do they still do that?)
The format was always exactly the same:
I suspect this sermon will demonstrate a similar depth of thought.
Jesus found his path. I too struggled to find my path, and then I found it. Amen.
Scripture: it fits everything. That’s proof that it’s true.
“Anglican Priest Rachel Mann reflects on the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and on her journey of identity as a trans woman, and is then joined by Arielle Scarcella recounting her own recent journey of identity.”
Cake and tea to follow.
Cake or death?
Did it? Where does the bible say that? It’s admittedly a few decades since I read it but I seem to remember he just walked about in the sand a bit, suffered some fairly half-hearted tempting and went home again. For all I know he just went into the desert to get a break from that sanctimonious prick Peter.
So does that mean that gender critical feminist pushback against trans ideology is just like being crucified?
Literal crucifixion.
So my experience getting lost on a hike in a southeastern Nebraska state park, and then finding the path out again is just like Jesus? Should we do a Lent sermon on the journey of hiking? (Frankly, it would make more sense.)
Now look here, if Anglican priest and trans woman Rachel Mann says so then it’s true. Mann is doubly, if not multiply, valid, as both a priest and a trans woman. That’s about as valid as it’s possible to be, and we mere peasants have no right to ask prying questions about whether the bible says that or not, or what kind of cake will be served.
Why would you continue to call yourself “Mann”? Doesn’t it give the game away?
I can confirm that Radio 4 still do Thought For The Day. . It’s still deep and meaningless. The most useful thing it’s ever done for me is tell me that it must be about 7:45am.
