The Bible and Trans Identity: What Does Genesis Actually Say?
About this episode
"God made them male and female." It's one of the first verses people reach for when they want to argue that being transgender goes against God's design. Rya spent two decades not knowing how to reconcile her gender struggles with what the Bible says... until she learned she didn't have to choose between them. In this episode, she and Joe look at what scholars actually say about Genesis 1, not to twist the text, but to read it honestly.
