The Bible is pro-trans, guidance for Church of England claims

The Bible is pro-transgender, according to guidance created for a Church of England lobby group.

Theological guidance for Christians claims that “not everyone in the Bible is cisgender” – their gender at birth – and says that biblical stories contain “some clear queer characters”.

Arguments for the pro-trans nature of the Bible rest on the treatment of eunuchs in scripture, and women taking part in apparently masculine activities. The guidance was produced by a campaigner who worked with a pressure group which has lobbied Church of England bishops for “radical inclusion” of sexual orientations and gender identities.
