Christmas is upon us, and you know what that means in the legacy media: Suddenly new articles related to Jesus, Mary and so on. Some of them are basically respectful, and some are basically ‘fan-baiting:’ Artificially creating controversy in order to gain attention. We saw it with articles that pointed out that non-Christians suggested Mary wasn’t a virgin after all (of course they thought that), and just tonight the bizarre claim that Jesus came from a dysfunctional family. The goal is to garner hate-clicks from Christians, angry at this latest slap to our faith and we suggest you don’t let them get what they want.
And then there is India Willoughby, born Jonathon, a transgender journalist who just can’t cope with the holidays. In other words, we don’t think he is fan baiting, we think he really can’t deal with the idea of many Christians celebrating one of their holiest days (the holiest day, depending on whom you ask). So, in a bit of pique, he shared this lovely thought:
And trans. Self impregnating organisms - Mary - give birth to genetic copies of themself, so Jesus must have transitioned to male at some point. Just as Eve was probably XY chromosomes, given she was cloned from Adam’s rib. Which means she would have been banned from athletics… https://t.co/9FxKFc9RtR pic.twitter.com/BoqShqMjtD

Oy vey, we don’t know where to begin with this. He is showing a picture of an article, but not bothering to link to it—which we consider to be a pretty scummy practice since it robs the writer of clicks. That article can be found here:
Excl: Jesus could have been transgender, according to a University of Cambridge dean.
— Ewan Somerville (@ewansomerville) November 26, 2022
Worshippers were left “in tears” at the Trinity College service, shouted "heresy" at the dean and felt "unwelcome in the Church".
More in the Sunday Telegraphhttps://t.co/k934xr2kIw
This is not a fan-baiting article, so much as a report on a controversy at Cambridge. It is a reporting on a dumb argument, rather than making one. From the article:
Jesus could have been transgender, according to a University of Cambridge dean.
Dr Michael Banner, the dean of Trinity College, said such a view was ‘legitimate’ after a row over a sermon by a Cambridge research student that claimed Christ had a ‘trans body’, The Telegraph can disclose.
The ‘truly shocking’ address at last Sunday’s evensong at Trinity College chapel, saw Joshua Heath, a junior research fellow, display Renaissance and Medieval paintings of the crucifixion that depicted a side wound that the guest preacher likened to a vagina.
Worshippers told The Telegraph they were left ‘in tears’ and felt excluded from the church, with one shouting ‘heresy’ at the Dean upon leaving.
The sermon displayed three paintings, including Jean Malouel’s 1400 work Pietà, with Mr Heath pointing out Jesus’s side wound and blood flowing to the groin. The order of service also showed French artist Henri Maccheroni’s 1990 work ‘Christs’.
That’s right, he decided Jesus might have been trans… based on various paintings and not photographs. (Not that photographs existed about two thousand years ago, but you get our sarcastic point.) The mind boggles at the stupidity, but it is legitimate for the Telegraph to have covered the controversy.
As for Mr. Willoughby, unlike the fan baiting article suggesting Mary was either willingly or unwillingly bedded by a roman soldier, he seems to accept that it was a virgin birth, but thinks that means that Jesus was a genetic copy of his mother. No, obviously, Jesus is the son of God, and therefore God added at least enough genetic material to make him distinct from Mary—if only adding a Y chromosome to make him a son, and not a daughter. We never thought that God actually mated with Mary or anything crude like that (we have heard weird people make that claim, believe it or not). But being an omnipotent being, He could simply will that a child be conceived with the appropriate genetic material.
Of course, you could imagine that Jesus was born a woman and transitioned into a man if you ignore the actual text of the Bible. Heck, maybe Jesus was actually a Native American lesbian, because when you ignore history and text, anything is possible. /sarcasm
And the Bible didn't say God cloned Eve, only that she was made from his rib.
But our dry, logical takedown has nothing on J.K. Rowling’s mockery:

See what we mean? We can’t top that.
Amen.

Yes, of course, they had sex change surgery back then, or something. Look, logic is not one of the strong suits for transactivists, because transgender ideology can’t stand up to logic. Its their kryptonite.
If life has taught me anything, it's that it's a huge mistake to think things can't get any more insane.

Just no. They are trying to mess with Rudolph now too. pic.twitter.com/IF3LgBahCc

Seriously, maybe whoever depicted Rudolph just didn’t know about all that, or they didn’t care. Hasn’t anyone ever heard of poetic license?
They clearly skipped reading the Bible where a multi dimensional all powerful organism visits Mary.

I often wonder if atheists obsess over all things they consider mythological, or it’s just Jesus and the Father they’re mad and obsessed with?
Do they talk about the tooth fairy…
The cut off text reads:
Do they talk about the tooth fairy and boogiemen constantly? To them it should be equal ground.
We find that there are two types of atheists. The first are perfectly nice people who are courteous to people of other faiths, but don’t share that faith. Then there are the militants, who are constantly, obnoxiously attacking other people’s faiths and, if you interrogate them long enough, you realize that they actually do believe in God: They’re just mad at Him.
As I understood it, during that time period, a virgin birth simply meant a woman hadn’t given birth before. Given the lack of medical assistance, the first baby was a very big deal so it took on more importance. Many women wouldn’t survive the first birth, and she was in a barn.…

Also, India is a parasite.
Heh.
Respectfully, we would have to disagree with ‘Ellyll’ on the issue of the Virgin birth: That has never been our understanding. If it really meant anything so ordinary as a first child, the Bible wouldn’t have made such a big deal of it—indeed we don’t recall them using that term to describe any other first children in the Bible. The point of noting it is to make it clear to everyone who knew of the facts that this was a miracle—she conceived without losing her virginity—strengthening the claim that Jesus was the Son of God and the Messiah.

You can make up anything if you have the ability to string some words together. Some are much better at it than others. On that score, @IndiaWilloughby fantasy writing doesn't quite hit the high water mark when compared with Harry Potter. You might be relieved to know that.

We don’t think Rowling was concerned.
India Willoughby SERIOUSLY has something wrong with him. And that, below what @jk_rowling has quoted shows the level of it. Maybe this man needs to be hospitalised mentally and his phone taken away. Freak. https://t.co/HQwpRqT3jz

If I identified as Trans, I would do everything in my power to stop this man posting on Social Media & single handedly destroying the reputation & credibility of the Trans community. https://t.co/7iKEoPy3aL

And we always enjoy a translated response, because often they are the funniest:
De enige vraag die bij mij opkomt is: geloven lieden als Willoughby dit geraaskal zelf eigenlijk echt? https://t.co/OYr88fz3BA
— Hanneke Kouwenberg (@HKouwenberg78) December 24, 2024
The alleged translation from Dutch:
The only question that comes to mind is: do people like Willoughby actually believe this nonsense themselves?
Okay, I mean... I don't know if this is unhinged or just desperate.

No one knows but India. https://t.co/fyev59Kv3A
As the late William Hoge III used to say ‘embrace the power of ‘and.’’
Faith transcends biology, we believe it about Jesus, @IndiaWilloughby believes it about a bunch of mentally ill randos.

That … is a fair point.
Finally:
Hey @IndiaWilloughby have you had your prostate test yet ?? All MEN need it at 50………… https://t.co/VrCx9Qa2AR

Heh.
In any case, if this author doesn’t get the chance to write again before Christmas is over… Merry Christmas. Whether you celebrate the birth of Christ or not, we hope your day is good.
