This blog is not to make fun of any religions, I'm personally an atheist but I enjoy Christianity in the same way people enjoy Greek mythology.
The gender identity and sex of the people in the bible have sometimes been debated, with many speculating if God was a man or a woman or neither, but I want to present the idea that Jesus Christ was an intersex individual. and I can explain both the religious and biological grounds for this. The Bible says that Jesus was fully god and fully human, so biologically speaking, if he is fully human, for Jesus to be passed on a Y chromosome he would've had to receive it from a parent with sperm to get it. But there wasn't a sperm cell in the conception of Jesus so that means he was only passed down the X from Mary. Now you may say that miracles happen but let's get into the theological side of it. The Bible says that God made humans in his image, Man, and woman. But that's actually a mistranslation from the Torah, which is what the Bible is based on. A more accurate translation would be that God made man to one woman, and that's because the Torah acknowledges six sexes.
"An androgynous, who presents both male and female physical traits, is in some ways like men and in some ways like women. In some ways, they are like both men and women, and in other ways, like neither men nor women." (Bikkurim 4:1)

Oh, I love this take! It's so cool to see people making their own theories about things like these, and it's particularly fascinating and comforting to me as an ex-orthodox Christian :3
Personally, I like to think about Jesus as completely outside and impossible to describe through the "earthly" categories of sex and gender. It makes the most sense to me because if we look at God through the holy trinity framework* that dictates that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one omnipresent deity, I think all three forms, would be beyond those categories as beings so much larger and too "pure" to be "corrupted" by the earthly ideas of sex/gender.
*or at least the holy trinity framework I learned during my religion lessons when I was younger lol
