Oops. I meant the former, eunuchs from birth

Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction, so while they still might be male or female, they just don't feel that attraction

I don't think that's the case

Matthew 19:12 NRSV [12] For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

Jesus mentions two types of eunuchs here. Those who are made, and those who are born as eunuchs. The latter, those who are born as eunuchs are what we today call intersex people.

Intersex people have ambiguous sex characteristics and are born that way. Intersex people make up around 1.7% of the population, around the same amount as people who have red hair. They are pretty distinct. Sometimes they can have male genitalia and female sex hormones, while still others can have ambiguous genitalia. Others still have male chromosomes when being phenotypically female.

Not every one of these was included in the term Eunuch, as they aren't always visible traits. But many of these traits were visible so they were seen as distinct from men. Oftentimes they're born that way.

(An aside while it's on my mind, Jesus tells us that marriage is overrated in this passage. I think we neglect our single church members a lot, seeing as there doesn't seem to be much space for them outside of the context of marriage. And this passage says that marriage isn't for everyone)

Acts 8:27-28 NRSV [27] So [Phillip] got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship [28] and was returning home; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

Here's a story about a eunuch returning home from Jerusalem. Eunuchs back then were seen as 'between' male and female. They were able to go between the men's Chambers in the women's Chambers freely, and so they were very useful in courts. Not all Eunuchs were in the courts though.

According to church tradition this very Eunuch founded the Ethiopian Church. And so it is very possible for non-binary people to be followers of Christ.

Of course we can't fall into the pitfall of applying modern sexuality and gender theory on ancient cultures, as they have a very different set of social institutions.

Some theologians of years past have suggested that the passage which is alluded to in Genesis might have a different meaning.

Genesis 2:23 NRSV [23] Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken.”

This taken in conjunction with the passage that you quoted, can be interpreted very differently. Woman was taken out of man, meaning that Man was once both male and female at the same time, and yet perfect as all of God's creation was.

Jesus never explicitly condemns Eunuchs or other groups of gender non-conforming people. I would not take this passage to exclude everything else from the life giving blood shed for us on the cross

I'm a Christian! Did you know that the church in Ethiopia was started by a non-binary person? Gender and sexuality used to be very different social constructs in biblical times and modern views on gender and sexuality didn't come around in full force until around 300 years ago.

It's a real shame that the church in general tends to reject the LGBT community. Science has shown over and over again that sexual identity and gender identity are inherent parts of people, and it makes no sense to me how God can hate something that he designed.

Pushed by the Bourgeois? Gosh I wish. The reason why trans people have rights is due to years of activism and science. (And the warning power of the church)

The Bourgeois have been trying to stuff us down forever. You saw how fast some corporations dropped their LGBT flags at the first sign of trouble. They don't care about it

Yeah. Cam girls are people too. Sometimes it's hard to remember

There's a lot of hidden costs and infrastructure needed for magical flying beasts. Not to mention limited capacity. Little can compete with the horse drawn cart when it comes to capacity for price though.

It got really bad just over the past two days. I'm not sure if it's a raid from some right wing troll farm, or what it is. Defederation makes things easy though

Despite the API protests, the Official Reddit app sucks anyways. It uses a ton more data and battery than third party apps, so I'd never use it again. The app also has a bunch of tracking built in.
