Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Ok here’s a rant
CW because it’s talking about recent events involving the death of a non binary teen due to transphobia
I really , really , really fail to see how Judaism and Christianity could be queer accepting. The people who are actively pushing the trans-panic in the west are from both of these religions. Their rhetoric has led to the harassment and d0xxing of multiple people and have recently led to the death of a non binary teen in Oklahoma.
How can we say that Christianity or Judaism are somehow “different” from the queerphobia we see these days or that the queerphobes arent “real Jews/Christians”. Both of these religions share some of their scripture and if you want here’s the part that endorses transphobia:
Deuteronomy 22:5 [The Contemporary Torah] [21st Century KJV]
“The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for all who do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God”
“A woman must not put on man’s apparel, nor shall a man wear woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is abhorrent to your God יהוה.”
